Export fumigation is a common method used to treat insects and parasites found on goods packaged in paper, wooden pallets, or crates. This process helps to clean goods, prevent contamination during international transportation, and stop the spread of microorganisms between countries.
A fumigation certificate is issued after health quarantine authorities complete treatment using plant protection chemicals. Using this certificate not only protects goods but also eliminates bacteria and pests in shipping containers during sea transport. Bromide is the primary chemical used in this process.
