Exporting from Gardendale, Alabama? 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.

Get Free QuoteOur ISPM-15 export pallet process for Gardendale customers: lumber is kiln-dried to achieve a core temperature of 56°C for 30 continuous minutes, eliminating all wood-boring insects and their eggs to the IPPC-required standard. 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.
Export pallets for Gardendale businesses are available in: standard 48x40 GMA (most common), 48x48 block, 42x42, 40x48, and custom dimensions.

Documentation including certificate of heat treatment available on request.
Over 180 countries require ISPM-15 compliance for all wood packaging materials including pallets. 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 Gardendale exporters.
Using non-ISPM-15 pallets for international shipments from Gardendale 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. Some countries impose trade bans on repeat offenders. Our ISPM-15 certified pallets eliminate this risk for Gardendale exporters.
