RE: Concise Description of EU Standards for Fine Art Shipping Crates

You can make the crate yourself using plywood or whatever and then you'll
have to give it to the customs officials who will fumigate it. (We just
went through all of this.)
If you go to the us customs web site you'll find all the info you need

Hi Bryan,
 
Both I guess.  I'm really wondering if a crate is fabricated from manufactured materials (i.e. plywood) in it's entirety if it complies to EU standards. If not, is it necessary to have the crate made from certified materials in a certified shop that has been inspected and has the ability to apply the bug free stamp?
 
Best,
Glen

Dear Glen, Are you referring to construction and packing standards? Or to heat treated "bug stamped" wood standards?  Best regards, Bryan Cooke

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone out there has a concise set of specifications that are required to meet European Union Standard for crates, specifically art shipping crates?

Thanks,
