Check the complete pack and route
State the destination and list the pallet, collars and relevant solid-wood accessories. Check the actual treatment and marking requirements with the supplier and current official destination guidance.
Treatment is not a performance rating
Heat treatment addresses wood packaging pest requirements. It does not establish base capacity, food approval, pharmaceutical suitability or kiln drying. Request those specification details separately.
Changing an export set
Seek authorised guidance on treatment and marking after repair or alteration. Confirm the components supplied rather than using a mark shown in a website photograph as evidence for an order.

Heat treated collar marking checksConfirm required treatment and marking for the actual solid-wood packaging. A mark on one photographed component is not proof that the supplied whole set meets the route requirements.Collar heat treatment versus dryingSpecify treatment and moisture requirements separately. Heat treatment addresses wood-packaging pest requirements and is not automatically a moisture-reduction service.Combining collars and pallets for exportList every relevant solid-wood component in the complete pack. Heat-treated collars do not establish the compliance of an untreated base or added timber fittings.Export collar repair checksAsk an authorised provider about treatment and marking after repair or alteration. Do not assume the previous status remains unchanged after replacing a board.Plywood lids with solid-wood collarsDistinguish processed-wood components from solid-wood collars when reviewing the route. Do not generalise an exemption for a plywood lid to the entire pack.
