At SKN Freight Systems, we offer certified fumigation services following international standards such as ISPM-15, PPQ, and port-specific regulations. Fumigation involves treating cargo in a controlled environment using approved chemicals like methyl bromide or phosphine to eliminate harmful pests and ensure the shipment is safe for export.
Our team handles fumigation for a wide range of cargo types—including wooden crates, pallets, agricultural products, textiles, machinery, and containerized goods. Each treatment is supervised by licensed professionals and followed by issuing authorized fumigation certificates accepted globally by customs and quarantine departments.
Fumigation ensures a safe, contamination-free supply chain and prevents the spread of invasive species that could damage ecosystems in destination countries.
