Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about export pallets

Do all exports need ISPM 15 pallets?

Not every country applies the same rules. Check current regulations for your destination, or ask your freight forwarder.

How can I tell a pallet is treated?

Look for the ISPM 15 mark on the wood. It shows the country code, producer code and treatment type.

Are plastic pallets covered?

ISPM 15 applies to solid wood packaging. Processed wood such as plywood and plastic are generally outside its scope, but confirm this for your shipment.
