Wooden Case

Wooden Case is a common packaging term in foreign trade transportation, referring to a closed box container made of wood, used for loading and protecting goods such as mechanical equipment, precision instruments, and heavy parts. Its usage scenarios include sea, land, and air transportation, and it is especially suitable for high-value or fragile goods that need moisture-proof, shock-proof, and compression-proof protection. Precautions: 1) Wooden cases must comply with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM 15), that is, they must be fumigated or heat-treated and marked with the IPPC logo, otherwise they may be rejected by the importing country; 2) Wooden cases are heavy and bulky, which increases freight and customs declaration costs, so the balance between protection and economy must be considered; 3) Unlike a 'Wooden Pallet', a wooden case is a closed container that directly holds the goods, while a pallet is a base board that carries the goods; compared with a 'Carton', a wooden case is stronger but more expensive, and fumigation issues must also be considered. In foreign trade contracts, the material, thickness, reinforcement method of the wooden case, and whether fumigation-free plywood boxes are required should be clearly specified to avoid disputes.
