Wood packaging material used for moving different loads must be treated and labelled in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISPM 15. If the specified requirements are not met, dangerous harmful organisms may be introduced into the country, creating a threat to Latvia's forestry and the environment. Therefore, when imports into Latvia from risk countries (USA, China, South Korea, Taiwan), the cargo used to transport wood packaging material must be controlled by wood packaging material. It shall be performed at border inspection posts, but in cases where the cargo is imported into Latvia through another Member State of the European Union in which the wood packaging material has not been controlled, the State Plant Protection Service shall perform the control.
