"A method of exterminating pests, termites or any other harmful living organisms aimed at reducing the risk of spreading quarantine pests along international trade routes. In particular, it refers to pests that create tubules for nesting in wooden materials and are transferred to other parts of the world along with the load. Fumigation is executed by suffocating or poisoning the pest within a specific area using fumigants. After the process, a licensing authority will issue a certificate that should accompany the cargo to other destinations. Certificates confirm that the packaging has been fumigated and contain details such as treatment purpose, fumigants used and temperature range."<br/><br/>
