What will the importers or their agents be responsible for?
The importers or their agents will only have additional responsibilities if existing AQIS surveillance detects non-compliance with the ISPM 15 standard. Timber packaging that is not marked with ISPM 15 marks will be sent for treatment, re-export or destruction unless evidence of valid offshore treatment can be presented to AQIS front counters. These treatments will be at the importer’s expense. It is the responsibility of importers to ensure that packaging is compliant with AQIS requirements.
