Export Norm IPPC-ISPM15
The above export standard has in the meanwhile become the norm for exportability of wooden packing cases. Most countries in the world set their own import regulations along these lines. The export standard of IPPC- ISPM15 is designed to prevent the import of foreign insects into the native flora.
This means for many wooden cases an expensive insecticide procedure, long waiting times at borders or even an import ban. ProCase flight cases do not have this problem when being exported. ProCase flight cases are designed to fully conform with IPPC-ISPM15 and consist of so-called “processed wood”. The wooden materials used in the manufacture of ProCase system containers ensure full conformity with all the required standards and thus are not held up when crossing any frontier.
The ProCase containers are made of coated plywood. We consider it our responsibility to our environment to ensure that the natural resource wood is not exploited by illegal logging or forest degradation. We confirm that we fully support the objectives of the EUDR and that a comprehensive due diligence system has been implemented to ensure compliance. ProCase operates with a certified management system that documents all goods receipts and the internal flow of goods. We purchase timber and timber products only from producers and traders who confirm that their products are deforestation-free, have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production, and strictly fulfill the requirements of the EU Regulation 2023/1115 (EUDR). The risk that illegally harvested timber or timber linked to forest degradation enters our supply chain is therefore classified by us as negligible.
