Information from our customs broker:
Importers beware. U.S. Customs (CBP) agriculture inspectors have advised us that they will be increasing scrutiny of wood packing materials (pallets and blocking) in import containers.
Recently, 47 import shipments were turned around in Seattle. The pallets were properly stamped with the SWP stamp, but were infested with bugs/larvae. CBP is aware of “counterfeit” SWP, and is looking for them nationwide.
