Commodities in railroad freight cars and ship holds may be fumigated while transported from one location to another. Fumigation is begun at the origination point, continues in transit, and concludes at the destination. The fumigation rate depends on temperature. At conclusion, monitoring shows the absence of fumigant, the container is aerated, unused product deactivated and the container cleared. Fumigation in transit is not permitted in truck trailers moving over the road.
