## Abstract

This document amends the regulations for importing unmanufactured wood articles that have been fumigated with methyl bromide or other fumigants by adding a reminder that such articles must be aerated after fumigation in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency label requirements, the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations. Aeration protects port personnel, consignees, and others against possible exposure to dangerous levels of fumigant residue. We are taking this action to increase awareness of the aeration requirement among persons shipping fumigated wood to the United States.
