This is the first we have heard of such restrictions here at the Canadian
Museum of Civilization.  Can anyone provide me with more details?  Thanks so
much!

Subject: EU restrictions and shipments


I am looking for feedback on how people are planning for shipments to the
European Union when sending crates made before the new restrictions were in
place.  We are an American art museum with a sister institution in France
and because of the amount of shipments we have each year, it is more
economical for us to maintain our crates and store them on premises.

Our crates have the restricted wood on the battens and we are leaning
towards fumigation rather than heat-treatment for these crates.   I imagine
by spring the new EU restrictions will be in full force.  Is anyone in a
similar situation, and if so, how are you planning to comply with these
restrictions?

Thank you in advance for your response.
