Is it true that there is a move to ban imports of goods with wooden packaging materials treated with MB treatment? Alternative would then be as under:

Grains, cereals, and dried foodstuffs (for consumption):

Phosphine, aluminium phosphide, magnesium phosphide, hot water
treatment, heat treatment, controlled atmosphere, and combination hot
water and dry air

Timber and timber products, wooden packaging materials:

Heat treatment, heat + low oxygen, phosphine, aluminium phosphide,
ethyl formate, sulfuryl fluoride, debarking, insecticides, pest free areas,
and inspection, debarking, processing, water immersion.

Cotton and fibre: Phosphine

Perishable fresh fruit and vegetables, cut flower:

Systems approach, pyrethroids, cold treatment, hot water treatment, and
alternative phytosanitary procedures (pre-clearance programmes, pest
free areas, inspection), controlled atmospheres,

Soil treatments: 1,3-D/chloropicrin, other fumigant combinations.

Any body can confirm, please?
