The European
Union requires that wood for pallets and crates be made
of NMFC or heat treated (HT) wood
"The Commission of the European Communities has adopted
emergency measures requiring the treatment and marking of
all new and used coniferous (e.g. pine, spruce, fir) non-manufactured
wood packing material (NMWP) originating in the United States,
Canada, China, or Japan and departing on or after October
1, 2001, to prevent the introduction of the pinewood nematode.
Hardwoods are exempt from the EU emergency measure. The pinewood
nematode is a microscopic eelworm which has caused extensive
mortality in pines in Japan and China. "
