Fumigation is the treatment of a product by using smoke / fumigant which aims to kill insects / fungi / other pests. Fumigation is one of the export requirements in accordance with international contained in various agreements, including the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) which direcomended by the world trade (WTO).
Fumigant is a kind of pesticide / drug chemical pesticides in the form of gas and the concentration and time to kill pests. Fumigant used in the process takes time to sink perfectly on the fumigated product. Implementation of this fumigation begins with the inclusion of gas and end with the release of gas or also called aeration to neutralize toxic gas remaining in the product. That need to be reminded to all exporters are, do not let your commodities in re-fumigation (or exposure claim) in the destination country only because it is not in the fumigation at the time be sent abroad.
STANDARD OF FUMIGATION :1. Fumigation Certificate Issuance AFASID numbered registration which is registered government official and legally recognized internationally.2. Fumigation certificate must be signed by the technical competence of fumigation (authorized competence) of international beregister.3. Conditions and procedures for implementation of the fumigation government standards and international standards that apply.Fumigant (drug / pesticide) used is methyl bromide (CH3Br) with dose commonly used is 48 gram/m3/24 hours. In the event of additions or dose reduction, according charged additional / reduction in the amount of drug is used. Effective fumigation process takes at least 1 x 24 hours. Quality assured results, reduce the risk to re-fumigation (or claim) of the state destination.Announcement or order fumigation to be submitted no later than 24 hours before clossing ship.
Fumigation can be done for other purposes such as timber or packaging of commodities. For commodities in warehouses, fumigation is also obliged to use a cupola or coversheet. Place buildup or depot fumigation, plant location / warehouse, or a loading dock, should be clean and free from many pests and other pests, especially for fumigation outside the container (such as in warehouses), then it must be places / locations that avoid the heat and rain , clean, and away from the traffic of people.Container or commodities that have been completed in the fumigation, should be placed separately from the container or other commodities that have not been in the fumigation to prevent re-contamination during on-site stacking / storage. Commodities that have been completed in the fumigation, it is advisable not to get too long in storage, to minimize the possibility of contamination back. In this case, if the storage fumigant resistance over the limit (21 days), then it should be done a refumigation. Doses vary depending on the type of commodity fumigation in fumigation or above requirements the country of destination.
The cost of fumigation is divided into several categories, adjusted with the procedures and the location of fumigation will be done one of which is in konteiner fumigation carried out in a predetermined container depot. For this type of fumigation is already included in the rent a container depot, elevator on & lift off at the container depot, trucking costs from the container depot to the port. As for LCL fumigation or fumigation is carried out outside the container (before stuffing) can be done at the factory or other location mutually agreed. Tariff costs are calculated based on the volume of commodity fumigation in fumigation.

International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM)
1. ISPM # 15 is the standard treatment / medication against the prevailing international any wood packaging (boxes, crates, pallets, dunnage, etc..) which will be used as an ingredient supporting exports. The agreement was contained in various provisions administered by the World Body level of the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) agreed World Trade Organization (WTO).
2. There are two types of treatment measures are allowed, ie Fumigation and Heat Treatment depending on the demand for the destination country.
3. Any wood packaging products that have been given the treatment, would be a sign or marking and labeling.
4. ISPM # 15 carried by a wood packaging products company (providers) are already government officially registered (ID Number). This company regardless of fumigation companies.
5. Rates adjusted cost of production of packaging timber of the type, volume, and size of wood packaging which will be produced. This fee regardless of the cost of fumigation.
6. For wood packaging made by the customers themselves, will direcek by officers ISPM # 15 and only charged for marking / labeling according to the prevailing standard rate.
7. Like the fumigation, then any act of ISPM # 15 also will be issued a certificate ISPM # 15
PHYTO SANITARY
1. Phytosanitary Certificate is a Certificate of Plant Health (products derived from plants such as wood / pallet / box, biji2an, tubers, etc..) stating that the productare free from pests / plant diseases dangerous.
2. Published by the local Plant Quarantine
3. The cost of a tariff levied as a government official State Revenue
The fee is a pure cost issue Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) and sep arate from the cost of fumigation.
