Last updated: April 2026 dataWooden packaging โ including solid-sided boxes, open-slatted crates, drums, and cable-drums โ is a foundational industrial packaging category with supply concentrated in Canada and Mexico, both USMCA partners. The US schedule subdivides this heading into solid-sided packing boxes (4415103000), fruit and vegetable harvest containers (4415106000), and other crates, drums, and cable-drums (4415109000), with a catch-all line (4415100000) also present. A critical compliance consideration for all wooden packaging is ISPM-15 phytosanitary treatment: wood packaging material entering the US must be heat-treated or fumigated and marked accordingly to prevent the introduction of invasive wood pests, as enforced by USDA APHIS.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
USDA APHIS requires all wood packaging material, including crates, boxes, and cable-drums, to comply with ISPM-15 international phytosanitary standards. This means the wood must be heat-treated or methyl bromide fumigated and bear the official IPPC mark showing the treatment method and country code. Non-compliant shipments are subject to treatment, re-export, or destruction at the port of entry.
The US tariff schedule carves out a specific line (4415106000) for wooden containers designed for the harvest of fruits and vegetables, distinguishing them from general-purpose crates and drums (4415109000). The distinction is based on the container's design and intended use; importers should retain product specifications and commercial documentation to support the correct line selection.
