How effective are we?
o 1999-2000 - NAPPO developed/adopted a regional
standard (Import Requirements for Wood Dunnage and
Other Wood Packing Materials into a NAPPO Member
Country) that was the precursor of ISPM 15 – Regulation
of wood packaging material in international trade
o Through harmonization ISPM 15 has reduced the number
of introductions of wood infesting pests throughout the
world – see below data from inspections
