Wood Packaging - The USDA's APHIS has implemented its wood packaging material regulations to conform with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15. Therefore, all regulated wood packaging material (WPM) must be appropriately treated and marked under an official program developed and overseen by the national plant protection organization of the country of export. If your pallets and WPM are not stamped or certified, CBP may require you to re-export the goods at your expense.

Country of Origin Labeling- CBP regulations require that imported products are properly labeled with a country of origin marking. There are very few exceptions.
