     The concept of IPPC

IPPC is the abbreviation of the International Plant Protection Convention, which is a multilateral international agreement on plant protection adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1951. China has strictly implemented the international plant quarantine measures standards formulated by IPPC since July 1, 2009.。

The purpose of the International Plant Protection Convention is to ensure global agricultural security, take effective measures to prevent the spread and diffusion of pests along with plants and plant products, and promote pest control measures. The International Plant Protection Convention provides a framework and forum for international cooperation, coordination, and technical exchange for regional and national plant protection organizations.                       


                                                                Interpretation of the IPPC Mark

Wooden packaging used for exported goods shall be marked with the IPPC logo. Using this logo means that internationally accepted phytosanitary measures have been adopted, and there is no need to use a phytosanitary certificate anymore.

 The logos shown below are several acceptable IPPC logos. Wooden packaging materials with this logo indicate that the relevant pest control treatments have been completed.3a5d1a15-fd0c-4383-b93c-abae44b7bd62.jpg

Approach 2: Enterprises that use wooden packaging but have not obtained the qualification to apply the IPPC mark may purchase wooden packaging from enterprises that are authorized to apply the phytosanitary treatment mark for export wooden packaging and are published by the General Administration of Customs.

 No, the following six types of wooden packaging do not require pest control treatment:


(1)Wooden packaging materials made entirely of thin wood (with a thickness of 6 mm or less)。

(2)Wooden packaging made entirely from treated wood, such as multi-layer boards, particle boards, linear laminated boards, and glued-laminated boards that are produced using methods such as gluing, heating, compression, or a combination of two or more of these methods.

Can wooden packaging marked with the IPPC logo be reused?

 Wooden packaging marked with the IPPC logo can be re-exported, but it needs to meet the following conditions:

(一)Wooden packaging that has undergone pest control treatment and been marked with the IPPC logo, if it has not been repaired, remanufactured, or otherwise modified, and has been confirmed as qualified through quarantine, can be reused without the need for further quarantine treatment or re-marking. Therefore, the country or region from which the goods are exported may be inconsistent with the country or region indicated by the IPPC logo;;

(二)A repaired wooden package refers to one where the replaced parts do not exceed one-third. The wood added during the repair process shall undergo quarantine treatment and be affixed with corresponding marks. Therefore, a wooden package is allowed to have multiple different marks.

(三)A remanufactured wooden package refers to one where the replaced parts exceed more than one-third. Remanufactured wooden packages must undergo quarantine treatment again, with the original marks on the wooden packages removed and new marks applied.
