Regulations on wood packaging material in international trade

The Government of the Republic of Honduras hereby advises that the Regulations on wood packaging material in international trade, notified on 3 February 2006 in document G/SPS/N/HND/11, have been updated and that there will be a comment period of 60 days as from the date of notification.

The notified Regulations seek to establish the phytosanitary measures for wood packaging material in use in international trade in goods, the technical specifications thereof, and the use of the globally recognized mark attesting to the application of such measures; define the requirements governing the use of this mark on wood packaging material used for the importation and exportation of goods; and establish guidelines to facilitate the inspection, at entry points into the country, of wood packaging material used for the importation of goods, with a view to reducing the risk of pest introduction.
