Wood packing without ISPM 15 rejected at port: what now?

Two wooden crates of parts arrived without the IPPC mark and quarantine flagged them.
The port requires fumigation on site or return; fumigation is quoted at USD 900.
Who pays, and how do we prevent a repeat?

On-site fumigation is cheapest and returning costs more; secure the cargo first, then discuss liability.

Buy crates with heat-treatment marks; do not nail solid wood yourself unless it is treated plywood.

Put packing requirements in the supplier contract with the packer liable; only then is it enforced.
