Government-licensed ISPM 15 fumigation (IN-679 MB) and heat treatment (IN-469 HT) with a valid fumigation certificate for export. Same-day service across Maharashtra.
Hemant Wooden Packaging is a government-licensed fumigation treatment company based in Vasai near Mumbai. For more than four decades we have helped exporters, freight forwarders, CHAs and manufacturers ship goods that are pest-free and compliant. We hold ISPM-15 licence IN-679 MB for methyl bromide fumigation and IN-469 HT for heat treatment. Every consignment we treat leaves with a valid fumigation certificate and the correct IPPC stamp.
Our fumigation services cover wooden pallets, boxes and crates, full container loads, break-bulk cargo, ship holds, warehouses and stored commodities. A trained fumigator carries out each job, checks gas levels with calibrated monitors and records the treatment exactly as the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) and ISPM 15 require.

Fumigation is a way of controlling pests in which a gas, called a fumigant, is released into an enclosed, gas-tight space. The space can be a container, a sheeted stack of pallets, a warehouse or a ship's hold. The gas is held at a set concentration for a set time. Because it is a gas, it reaches deep into timber, gaps in packaging and bulk commodities. Contact sprays cannot reach these places. Once the exposure period ends, the space is ventilated until the gas falls to a safe level, and the goods can then be handled and shipped.
The two fumigants used most often in trade are methyl bromide (MBR) and phosphine (aluminium phosphide). Methyl bromide acts quickly and is the approved chemical treatment for wood packaging under ISPM 15. Phosphine is used mainly for grain, pulses and other stored products. Heat treatment is the chemical-free alternative for wooden packaging.

Choosing the right fumigation treatment company decides whether your shipment clears customs on the first attempt. Here is what sets our fumigation services apart:
Fumigation treatment is a pest control method in which a gaseous fumigant such as methyl bromide or phosphine is released inside a sealed space, container or sheeted stack. The gas penetrates wood, cargo and packaging and kills insects, larvae and eggs that sprays cannot reach.
Yes. Hemant Wooden Packaging holds government ISPM-15 licences for methyl bromide fumigation (IN-679 MB) and heat treatment (IN-469 HT), so the fumigation certificate and stamp we issue are accepted by customs and plant protection authorities worldwide.
For most export consignments we fumigate the same day or the next day. Methyl bromide treatment needs at least 24 hours of exposure plus aeration, and the fumigation certificate is issued immediately after the treatment is completed and cleared.
We serve Mumbai, Navi Mumbai (JNPT/Nhava Sheva), Thane, Bhiwandi, Vasai, Palghar, Tarapur, Kalyan, Ambernath, Khopoli, Pune, Wada, Kaman and Andheri, and we can attend factories, warehouses, CFS and ICD locations across Maharashtra.
Both are approved under ISPM 15 for wooden packaging. Heat treatment (HT) leaves no chemical residue and is accepted by every ISPM 15 country, while methyl bromide fumigation (MB) can be done on packed cargo and inside containers. Some countries no longer accept MB, so tell us the destination and we will advise.
The cost depends on the volume to be treated (for example a 20 ft or 40 ft container), the fumigant and dosage, the location and the type of certificate needed. Share your cargo details and we will send a quotation the same day.
