Is the imported goods detained? Maybe it's because of the lack of this "Steam Ticket"

When Mr. Zhang first received the wooden furniture ordered overseas, he never expected that the goods would be stuck at the customs for a whole two weeks. The reason was actually a missing fumigation certificate. Similar stories areevery day -- The import fumigation agency, which seems to be a niche link, is actually an "safety lock" that cannot be ignored in cross-border trade. Today, let's uncover its mystery.

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) clearly stipulates that all wooden packaging materials must be heat-treated or chemically fumigated to eliminate potentially carried pests. Data shows that untreated wooden packaging may lead to a quarantine risk of up to 27%, which is the core value of the existence of the fumigation agency.

• Heat treatment: Keep at 56℃ for more than 30 minutes to completely kill the eggs
• Methyl bromide fumigation: 24-hour sealed treatment, with extremely strong permeability
• Sulfuryl fluoride treatment: An alternative for special materials

Ms. Li's cross-border e-commerce business can operate smoothly, precisely thanks to the full-process service of professional agents:

• Customized pretreatment plan: Develop a plan according to the material of the goods and the standards of the destination country
• Full-process document escort: One-stop handling from the fumigation certificate to the IPPC identification
• Emergency problem handling: A 48-hour rapid response mechanism when the goods are detained

Mr. Wang once had a whole batch of goods returned due to choosing an irregular agent, with a loss of more than 200,000 yuan. These lessons remind us:

• Confirm whether the agency has the Approval Certificate for Entry-Exit Quarantine Treatment Unit
• Beware of quotations far lower than the market price (may use unqualified chemicals)
• Be sure to verify that the seal number on the fumigation certificate can be traced

With the application of Internet of Things technology, the new-generation intelligent fumigation system can monitor parameters such as temperature, humidity and chemical agent concentration in real time and keep evidence through the blockchain. Leading enterprises such as Zhongshitong have started to trial the AI early warning system, which can predict the goods quarantine risk 72 hours in advance.
