How effective are we? NAPPO developed/adopted a regional standard (Import Requirements for Wood Dunnage and Other Wood Packing Materials into a NAPPO Member Country) that was the precursor of ISPM 15 – Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade Through harmonization ISPM 15 has reduced the number of introductions of wood infesting pests throughout the world – see below data from inspections
