Quick Answer: Yes, China requires ISPM-15 compliant wood pallets for all imports, with phytosanitary oversight by GACC (General Administration of Customs of China).

Detailed Answer

China has required ISPM-15 wood packaging compliance for many years. GACC inspects pallets at port of entry and may quarantine, treat, or destroy non-compliant shipments. Heat treatment is the dominant compliance method. Required documentation: IPPC stamp on each pallet; treatment certificate from accredited facility; phytosanitary certificate; commercial paperwork. China also applies additional certification requirements for some commodities (food, pharma, chemical).
