Phytosanitation & Exporting with Wood Packaging Materials:
What You Need to Know About ISPM 15
This workshop is designed for companies who use wood pallets, crating, or any wood in the shipment of their products to foreign countries, as well as companies that supply these materials to exporting companies. The International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM 15 standard) describes measures to reduce the risk of introduction and/or spread of quarantine pests associated with wood packaging material (including dunnage) made of coniferous and non-coniferous raw wood, used in international trade. Because this internationally recognized standard is relatively new, misunderstandings and misinformation about this standard have caused confusion and economic loss for many American companies involved in foreign export. This workshop is designed to clearly explain what ISPM 15 is, how it operates, and how it can affect your company.
David and Virginia De Broux identified a need for an accredited Heat Treat (HT) / Wood Packing Material (WPM) agency in the Midwest. On May 6, 2007, they started Forest Products Services, LLC (FPS). On July 26, 2007, American Lumber Standard Committee, Inc. accredited Forest Products Services, LLC to provide supervisory services to facilities that manufacture or heat treat wood packing material. With 50 years of combined experience in manufacturing and marketing of wood products, FPS brings a high level of experience that helps them in understanding the issues that companies face. David has participated in trade missions and shows in United States, Europe, Russia, and Asia. He has designed and built plants for American, Russian and Japanese companies.
This workshop is funded, in part, by a grant through the USDA Forest Service Wood Education Resource Center,
Glacierland Resource Conservation & Development, Inc., and Forest Products Services, LLC.

The University of Wisconsin Extension and Wisconsin DNR have begun the process of updating the Wisconsin Primary and Secondary Wood Using Directories. These directories are used to promote Wisconsin industries and to help them market their products. The directory was last updated in 2005. Over 3,000 each of these directories have been distributed across the country helping Wisconsin firms find markets for their products.
