3 Specific Import Requirements for Wooden Panels

3.1 General Requirements

3.1.1 Wooden panels include wood based products such as plywood, particleboard, oriented strand board, fibreboard, veneer, and chip board. Wood panels containing sections of raw wood must be imported into New Zealand under the requirements of the import health standard for sawn wood.

3.1.2 A consignment of wooden panels must be packed and/or shipped in a manner that prevents infestation and/or contamination by regulated pests. MAF considers the following as examples of appropriate packaging: plastic wrapping, 6 sided boxing, a closed shipping container etc.

3.1.3 Imported wooden panels must be:

  1. free of regulated pests (see Appendix 1 (a)).
  2. relatively free of extraneous material (e.g. leaves, soil). MAF considers a contamination rate of 0.01% w/w extraneous material is acceptable.

3.2 Treatment Requirements

3.2.1 Any treatment completed prior to import must comply with the requirements of this import health standard, or an equivalent treatment(s) approved by MAF.

3.2.2 If the wooden panels are fumigated or heat-treated prior to export, the wooden panels must be treated no more than twenty-one (21) days before export to New Zealand.

3.3 Treatment Options

MAF accepts one or more of the following treatment options for USED wooden panels (new wood panels do not require treatment):

3.3.1 Fumigation with methyl bromide or sulphuryl fluoride of filleted or otherwise separated layers, at 80 g/m3 for more than 24 continuous hours, and in a minimum temperature of 10°C.

3.3.2 Heat treatment for more than 4 hours at a minimum continuous core temperature of 70°C.

3.3.3 Chemical preservation to full sapwood penetration as specified in the following table:

Chemical Minimum Retention
Boron compounds (insecticidal and limited fungicidal protection) 0.1% Boric Acid equivalent minimum loading in the sapwood core
Copper + didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) (insecticidal & fungicidal protection) 0.35% mass/mass OR
2.8 kg/m3 in softwood timbers,
5.60 kg/m3 in hardwood timbers.
Copper azole (insecticidal & fungicidal protection) 0.27% mass/mass OR
1.35 kg/m3 in softwood timbers,
2.7 kg/m3 in hardwood timbers.
Copper Chrome Arsenic (CCA) (insecticidal & fungicidal protection) 0.27% mass/mass OR 
3kg/m3 minimum preservative retention
Arsenic (insecticidal protection only) 0.04% minimum preservation loading in sapwood core
Permethrin (insecticidal protection only) Minimum retention of not less than 0.06% mass/mass

3.4 Certification Requirements

3.4.1 An import permit is not required to import wooden panels into New Zealand.

3.4.2 For the purpose of providing certification of the treatment status of consignments to be imported into New Zealand, the importer may use a:

  1. phytosanitary certificate issued by the NPPO and based on the model certificate included in ISPM 12;
  2. phytosanitary certificate issued by the NPPO other than the certificate specified in (a) to which the following is to be included;
    "The wooden panels in this consignment have been inspected according to appropriate official procedures and are considered to be free from the regulated pests specified by MAF, and to conform with New Zealand’s current phytosanitary requirements".
  3. treatment certificate issued by the manufacturer or operator/manager of the treatment company.

3.4.3 All certification must be original, free of alterations and erasures, and printed in English.

3.5 Certificate Information

3.5.1 If used, a certificate must contain the following information:

  • A full description of the consignment and wood component
  • All relevant identification marks and brands
  • The number and/or volume of items treated
  • The container number (where applicable)
  • The following additional declarations (where applicable)

3.5.2 Certificates for consignments that have been fumigated may contain the following declaration:

"The wooden panels have been fumigated with __ (methyl bromide or sulphuryl fluoride) __ at __ (Fumigant concentration (g/m3)) __ for __ (Duration of treatment) __ at a minimum temperature of __ (Minimum temperature during treatment) __ on the __ (Date of treatment (dd/mm/yy) __."

3.5.3 Certificates for consignments that have been heat-treated may contain the following declaration:

"The wooden panels have been heated for __ (Duration of treatment) __ at a minimum core temperature of __ (Minimum temperature during treatment) __ on the __ (Date of treatment (dd/mm/yy) __."

3.5.4 Certificates for consignments that have been chemically preserved may contain the following declaration:

"The wooden panels have undergone chemical preservation using ____ (active ingredients of preservative) ____ by _____ (method of preservative application) ___ achieving a preservative active ingredient loading of _____ (kg/m3, or weight/weight %, or net dry salt retention) ____."

3.6 Transit Requirements

3.6.1 Where a consignment is split or has its packaging changed while in another country (or countries) en route to New Zealand, a "Re-export Certificate" issued by a NPPO is required where the treatment of the wooden panels has been certified.

3.6.2 Where a consignment is held under bond as a result of the need to change conveyances and is kept in the original shipping container, a "Re-export Certificate" is not required.

4 Requirements on Arrival in New Zealand

The importer shall meet all costs specified in the Biosecurity (Costs) Regulations (2003) associated with the inspection, treatment (if required) and clearance of goods imported under this standard.

4.1 Inspection on Arrival in New Zealand 

4.1.1 New Zealand MAF will check the accompanying documentation on arrival to confirm that it reconciles with the actual consignment.

4.1.2 If original and appropriate certification is NOT provided the wooden panels will be considered untreated.

4.1.3 If the wooden panels are NOT shipped within the required time period after treatment, the wooden panels will be considered untreated.

4.1.4 Each consignment of:

  • untreated USED wooden panels will be inspected for evidence of pests, bark, or extraneous organic material (e.g. leaves, twigs, soil), or reshipped or destroyed.

4.1.5 All inspections completed on arrival in New Zealand shall be carried out in a transitional facility approved by MAF for that purpose.

4.2 Actions Undertaken on the Interception/Detection of Organisms/Contaminants

4.2.1 All organisms detected on the imported wooden panels shall be identified to determine the regulatory status of the organism regardless of the treatment(s) or action(s) undertaken.

4.2.2 If regulated pests are intercepted/detected on the commodity, or associated packaging, the following actions will be undertaken as appropriate (depending on the pest identified, see Appendix 1(a)):

  • Reshipment of the consignment or lot;
  • Destruction of the consignment or lot;
  • Treatment (where possible) of the consignment or lot at the discretion of the Director, Forest Biosecurity;
  • The suspension of trade, until the cause of the non-compliance is investigated, identified and rectified to the satisfaction of New Zealand MAF.

4.2.3 Lots contaminated with bark or greater than 0.01% w/w soil or other extraneous organic material (e.g. leaves, twigs) shall have the contaminating material removed (if possible), or be treated, re-shipped or destroyed.

4.2.4 All treatments completed on arrival in New Zealand shall be carried out in a transitional facility approved by MAF for that purpose. Goods treated under MAF supervision do not require further inspection under this standard.

4.3 Biosecurity Clearance

If the requirements of this import health standard have been met, and regulated pests are not detected or are successfully treated following interception/detection, biosecurity clearance will be given.
