Transparency on Invasive Pests in Wood Packaging Material Violations
New regulations mandate that starting January 1, 2024, the government must publish information on violations related to pests found in wood packaging materials of goods entering the U.S. This aims to increase transparency and protect against invasive pests that could threaten agriculture and the environment. Citizens will gain access to data on issues with imported goods.

Information will include the date, type of violation, type of insect found, packaging material type, ISPM 15 mark details, port of entry, and country of origin.
