For a facility to use commodity lumber to build IPPC conforming WPM,
the lumber must have an HT mark on each piece when received at the facility.

The HT mark is comprised of three parts as shown above.

Additional information such as grade identification may be present, but the mark must have the three required elements.
If you have purchased HT lumber that arrives without this mark, you should keep the bundles intact and contact your supplier to arrange for replacement of the unmarked material.

A New Fumigant is Approved by IPPC

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) has approved the use Sulfuryl Fluoride (SF) as a fumigant to meet ISPM 15 standards. Each state will need to get approval from the EPA to license fumigators to use this chemical. Currently only eight states are approved by the EPA to use SF at this time. There has been a substantial amount of concern about the continued use of Methyl Bromide since it was determined to deplete the ozone. Each country's NPPO must approve the use of Sulfuryl Fluoride in it's regulations so it is important to make sure the NPPO for the country receiving WPM fumigated with SF has approved its use so there are no issues with its movement through Customs once it arrives.
