Exports

Exports

Depending on the country of export, various fumigation certificates are required.

Contact AgroSpeCom to find out what is mandatory for the country of destination to avoid delays and penalties.

BMSB treatment

Treating goods against the Brown Marmorated Sting Bug is a requirement of the Australian and New Zealand import authorities. AgroSpeCom was the first Greek fumigation company to receive the BMSB license in 2018.

Since then, we have successfully treated over a thousand containers. Treatment monitoring is mandatory and AgroSpeCom uses Centaur wireless sensors and platform in all treatments, embedding the graph in all certificates.

Khapra beetle treatment

Treating empty container for the Khapra beetle is another requirement of the Australian import authorities.

AgroSpeCom was the first Greek fumigation company to receive this license in 2021. Treatment monitoring is mandatory and we use Centaur wireless sensors and platform in all treatments.

Container fumigation with phosphine

Fumigating a container with phosphine is not as easy as people think. Containers are not airtight even when they are brand new. They leak through the floor and door.

Proper sealing and continuous fumigation monitoring are essential. A fumigant top-up is often required. In transit fumigation of containers is rarely successful as continuous monitoring is not easy and top-up is not possible. AgroSpeCom is using Centaur wireless sensors in all fumigations, embedding the graph in all certificates.

Container heat treatment

Heat can treat full and empty containers against insects. The temperature needs to reach lethal levels, for all insect stages. The temperature level and the duration are set by international protocols or are selected based on the insect species. 

Heat offers the most effective fumigation in the world. No insect species can withstand 55oC for more than an hour. No chemicals needed, no residues left behind.

ISPM-15 wood treatment

AgroSpeCom is the only fumigation company in Greece to carry an ISPM-15 license. This is the license for treating wood for export. The IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) issued this protocol for treating wood materials.

The protocol’s main purpose is to prevent the international transport and spread of disease and insects that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. ISPM-15 concerns all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnage, etc.) of a thickness greater than 6mm. This mark of compliance is known as the “wheat stamp” and AgroSpeCom carries the number GR-0092.
