Joe, There are different requirements depending on whether you export to or import from China. There is a January 1, 2000, requirement for all solid wood packaging materials made from softwoods (conifer) that are shipped from the US and Japan into China to be heat treated. Hard woods, plastic, corrugated, honeycomb, & metal pallets and crate packaging are exempt.
