Special disinfestation of containers and packaging wood

There are aspects of our work as freight carriers that often go unnoticed but are just as essential as transportation itself. Ensuring safety and compliance with international regulations is one of them.

All Gazzotti warehouses are equipped to provide top‑level container management services — from daily loading and unloading operations to specialized procedures such as CONTAINER FUMIGATION, carried out exclusively at our Sassuolo facility.
The entire area undergoes regular fumigation treatments: our ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms compliance with prevention and control procedures for wooden packaging and containers used to export ceramic materials to the United States.

A.B.R.A.S. Fumigation with A.B.R.A.S.

Gazzotti partners with ABRAS, a long‑established specialist in the sector, to offer highly professional fumigation services aimed at eliminating pests from containers and wooden packaging, preventing infestations at destination.
The service is available daily by appointment and is performed in full compliance with safety regulations, APHIS protocols, and AQIS guidelines.

Fumigation: What You Need to Know

  • What is FUMIGATION?

    Fumigation is a disinfestation method that eliminates pests and microorganisms from environments, goods, and containers through exposure to biocidal gases or vapors.

  • Is fumigation the same as "disinfestation"?

    Not exactly. Fumigation is a more specialized treatment capable of penetrating deeply into materials and large volumes, reaching even hidden pests that standard disinfestation may not eliminate.

  • Why FUMIGATE CONTAINERS?

    Because fumigation ensures safe transport by removing insects, rodents, bacteria, and other unwanted organisms that could compromise goods or violate import regulations.

  • How does CONTAINER FUMIGATION work?

    The container is completely filled with fumigant gases designed to suffocate or neutralize pests and microorganisms inside.

  • Is fumigation mandatory?

    Requirements vary by country. Many nations mandate fumigation of wooden packaging under ISPM‑15 regulations, which prevent the international spread of insects and ensure customs compliance.

  • Is a fumigation CERTIFICATE ISSUED?

    Yes. After treatment, ABRAS issues an official certificate confirming that fumigation has been carried out.
