While Heat Treatment could kill long-horned beetle and the pine wood nematode both at the same time.

Fumigation is to kill the insects in the woods with chemical agent, while the heat treatment is to do so through high temperature and humidity. Besides, the heat treatment can also reduce the moisture content of wood, which fumigation is not capable of. Therefore, many world-renowned international companies (MOTO) has clearly stated that fumigation is not allowed.

    Dear Steven,
    I’m in the process of ordering wooden boxes from a manufacturer in China. They are about the sizes of tea/cigar/jewelry boxes. Can you advise on how I should comply with:

    1) Fumigation/heat treatment requirements before the shipment leaves China? Will this be imposed on an air shipment of three samples too?
    2) Compliance with the Lacey Act

    Sincerely,
    Jenifer
