Hi All,
I need some help understanding RoHS compliance as it relates to reusable packaging. We're in the U.S. and plan to send expensive machinery to Europe and Japan in a custom steel frame crate. The parts of the crate consist of a custom steel frame w/ an epoxy coating, wire rope isolators, wooden panels w/ stenciling, static shield barrier bag and misc. metal hardware. The parts come from several different U.S. manufacturers. The crates will be returned to the U.S. after use. I have seen mixed opinions online with some saying that packaging does not need to be RoHS compliant.
Which parts of the crate must have an RoHS letter of compliance to accompany the shipment?
