Container fumigation is a pest control process using fumigant materials to help prevent the spread of insects or pest organisms during the storage and delivery of goods.

This process is generally required for certain commodities, such as agricultural products, wood, spices and other goods according to the requirements of the destination country.


Why is Fumigation Important?

  • Prevent pests that can damage cargo.

  • Support export requirements according to regulations and destination country.

  • Reduce the risk of rejection due to non-compliance with quarantine requirements.

Make sure before shipment!

Not all cargo must be fumigated. The need depends on the type of goods, packaging, destination country, and applicable quarantine provisions.

Make sure the process is carried out by a competent service provider, with appropriate safety procedures and documents.
