RMD-20-02 Risk Management Document on Shipborne Dunnage Program |
Summary |
Since 2008, all dunnage that is discharged in Canada is considered non-compliant as segregation of ISPM-compliant and non-compliant dunnage after discharge has been difficult. Inspection after discharge through piles of dunnage is a safety hazard and inefficient. Also, the CFIA periodically finds traces of living pests in ISPM-15-stamped wood packaging material, including shipborne dunnage. RMD-20-02 proposes four risk management options to uniformly, safely and efficiently manage shipborne dunnage brought into Canada. The recommended option is an audit-based program with preventive control plans that restrict reuse of shipborne dunnage during low-risk periods and asks for mandatory disposal during high-risk periods
