CBP Warns of Recent Non-Compliant Wood Packing Material Interceptions

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) members should be wary of use of non-compliant wood packing material (WPM), CBP said in a notice to C-TPAT members. Sea carriers should know of recent interceptions of non-compliant WPM "used in flat rack cargo carried by ocean vessels traversing the Mediterranean," it said. C-TPAT members should make sure supply chain partners use WPM that meet the International Plant Protection Convention standard, it said.
