Container Fumigation

Container fumigation for export and import

If you ship or receive goods, pests in a container can stop your cargo at the border. We fumigate containers and their contents to meet international standards, so your shipment moves without costly delays.

Why it matters

Keep your cargo moving and compliant

Containers are the standard way to move bulk commodities, wood, packaging and goods around the world, and many countries require them to be treated against pests before they arrive. Container fumigation treats either the cargo inside the container or the container itself, removing the risk of pests crossing a border and the risk of your shipment being held, rejected or sent back.

Export compliance

Meet the entry requirements of your destination country so goods are not held or returned.

Import protection

Stop pests arriving in imported goods from establishing themselves locally.

Certified treatment

Documented, recognised treatment that satisfies customs and quarantine authorities.

What we treat

Cargo and packaging we fumigate

Bulk commodities and grain Timber and logs Wooden pallets and dunnage Wood packaging and crates Furniture and wooden items General containerised cargo

Wood packaging used in international trade often needs to meet the ISPM 15 standard. We can treat and document your wood packaging so it complies.

Standards and safety

Done properly, by the book

Container fumigation is tightly regulated. We work to the relevant South African and international requirements, follow the fumigant manufacturer guidance, and complete a full risk assessment before any treatment begins.

Throughout the treatment we use calibrated gas monitoring to confirm the correct concentration is reached and held, and leak detection to keep the area safe. After treatment, the container is fully aerated and only released once gas readings are confirmed at safe levels. We do not offer fumigation in transit, as that practice is not permitted.
