<DIV>Progress! a penalty for deliberate violations of ISPM#15. I
wish the fine were <U>much</U> higher ...</DIV>
<DIV>Of course, Wetenkamp produced pallets for the export market. When will
APHIS & CBP impose penalties on <U>importers</U> whose wood packaging
violates ISPM#15? </DIV>

style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>The international standard (ISPM#15)
was put into effect by the United States <B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">11 years</B> ago; the U.S. and Canada began
requiring China to treat its wood packaging <B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">17 years </B>ago. Nevertheless, Customs and
Border Protection has detected more than 20,700 shipments with wood packaging
that did not comply with ISPM#15 during the 7-year period FY2010 -2016. In
nearly 5,000 cases, the wood packaging actually harbored a pest in a regulated
taxonomic group. Yet, only about <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">30</B>
import shipments have received a financial penalty. CBP staff cite two reasons
for the low penalty rate: USDA policy requires that an importer be caught 5
times in a year with non-compliant wood packaging before authorizing a fine; and
APHIS has not designated SWPM as a high-risk commodity</SPAN></P>

Protection Act (PPA)</A>. Wetenkamp fraudulently marked wooden
pallets indicating that they were compliant with the regulations under
the PPA that govern the use of wood packaging material in international
trade even though they had not been properly treated to prevent the
spread of wood-boring pests. </P>
<P>As part of a plea agreement, Wetenkamp pled guilty to violating the
Act and making a false statement (18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2); 7 U.S.C. §
7734(a)(1)(A)), which are both criminal charges. Wetenkamp was
sentenced to pay a $25,000 fine, complete a two-year probation term, and
pay restitution in the amount of $18,748 to his customers.</P>
<P>From November 2014 until April 2015, Wetenkamp, who was working as
the Site General Manager of the Timber Creek Resources’ Newton,
Wisconsin, facility, sold falsely stamped pallets to numerous
customers.</P>
<P>The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Office of Inspector General and Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.</P>
