China: Sulfuryl Fluoride Allowed for Log Fumigation

The APHIS and FAS China offices have confirmed with the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) Department of Animal Plant Quarantine (DAPQ) that sulfuryl fluoride is allowed for fumigation of U.S.-origin logs before export to China. This clarification confirms fumigation options available to U.S. exporters based on GACC Announcement No. 110 of 2021, titled Phytosanitary Requirements for Pine Wood from Countries with Pine Wood Nematode Presence. Logs that test positive for Pinewood Nematode remain ineligible for export to China.
