Every piece of solid wood packaging material in your international shipments - including pallets, crates, and dunnage - must be ISPM-15 certified to enter most countries.

After treatment, each pallet receives the official IPPC stamp mark showing the wheat symbol, US country code, our registered producer number, HT treatment indicator, and wood species.

Major trading partners with mandatory ISPM-15 requirements include: all EU member states, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, India, and most other significant markets. A few countries (some in Africa and Central Asia) have not yet adopted the standard, but using ISPM-15 pallets universally is the safest approach for Cottonwood exporters.
Using non-ISPM-15 pallets for international shipments from Cottonwood can result in: customs rejection of your entire shipment at destination, mandatory treatment or destruction of all wood packaging at your expense, significant financial penalties, and supply chain disruption.
