Crating and packaging for international shipping must be Certified and sometimes inspected to meet regulatory standards, particularly for international shipments. Non-compliant packaging can result in delays, rejected cargo, or costly rework.
Carrier’s Custom Crating follows documented, certified processes for domestic and international shipments, with a focus on accuracy, traceability, and repeatability.
ISPM-15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) is the global standard governing wood packaging materials used in international trade. It requires that solid wood packaging be heat-treated and marked to prevent the spread of pests and plant diseases across borders.
All export crates built by CCC are manufactured to ISPM-15 standards, properly heat-treated, stamped, and documented for international shipment by air, sea, or land.
The Canadian Wood Pallet and Container Program (CWPCP) is administered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and authorizes approved facilities to manufacture ISPM-15 compliant wood packaging.
CCC is a registered CWPCP facility, approved to produce certified export crates for international shipping to any country.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA / ACIA) oversees phytosanitary controls and compliance for wood packaging materials used in export.
CCC’s processes and registrations align with CFIA requirements for regulated wood packaging, ensuring export crates meet Canadian and international inspection standards.
The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) establishes global plant health standards adopted by participating countries worldwide. ISPM-15 requirements are enforced under the IPPC framework.
Export crates produced by CCC meet IPPC mandated standards for international acceptance.
Carrier’s Custom Crating has appropriate commercial insurance coverage and follows documented internal procedures for handling, packaging, and on-site work.
These measures support safe operations, vendor qualification requirements, and risk management for industrial clients and procurement teams.
