Compliance with ISPM-15 for wood packaging allows for two treatment options:

Heat Treatment (HT): wood packaging material should be heated in a schedule that achieves a minimum core temperature of 56 C or 133 F degrees for 30 minutes.

The American Lumber Standards

Methyl Bromide (MB) Fumigation: The wood packaging material should be fumigated with methyl bromide. NWPCA has been tasked by the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to administer the fumigation program.

Note: ISPM 15 requirements apply to all species of coniferous (softwood) and non coniferous (hardwood) packaging materials
