No. Paper corner boards are made entirely from paper and are not classed as wood packaging, so they:
- need no fumigation or heat treatment,
- need no IPPC stamp,
- comply with the import quarantine and environmental requirements of major markets,
- ship with the goods and clear customs without extra paperwork.
This is one of the biggest advantages of paper edge protectors over wooden ones — particularly for exporters shipping to the EU, USA, Australia and Japan.
