Fumigation of feathers and animal-origin materials
GCC fumigates feathers and other animal-origin materials used in apparel and bedding before export. Treatment is carried out at the shipper's warehouse or at Cat Lai port, Cai Mep port or the Tan Thanh border gate (Lang Son), under our licence for treating goods subject to plant quarantine.
Why treatment is needed
Bagged and baled feathers and animal-origin materials are easily infested by beetles and other pests that feed on feathers and wool. Eggs and larvae sit deep inside the bags, where they are hard to see. Goods of animal origin are also closely checked by importing countries, and a shipment without the right treatment certificate may be held, re-treated or sent back.
