Cocoa Pallet Supplier for Export

Export Pallets (ISPM-15) in Cocoa, FL

Exporting from Cocoa, Florida? 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. The International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 was adopted to prevent the global spread of invasive wood-boring insects that have caused catastrophic damage to forests worldwide.

Florida Pallet Supply supplies ISPM-15 certified heat treated export pallets to businesses throughout Cocoa and Brevard County, Florida. Our export pallet program covers: standard 48x40 GMA heat treated pallets (most common for container export), custom size heat treated pallets for specialty cargo, heavy-duty export pallets for industrial equipment, and heat treated wood crates for machinery and high-value export cargo.

Florida's export economy ships billions of dollars of goods annually through ports, airports, and land border crossings. Whether your Cocoa business exports through Port of Florida's major ports, air cargo, or direct truck to Canada or Mexico, ISPM-15 compliance is mandatory and our certified pallets make compliance simple.

Our ISPM-15 export pallet process for Cocoa 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 Cocoa businesses are available in: standard 48x40 GMA (most common), 48x48 block, 42x42, 40x48, and custom dimensions. We also build full ISPM-15 certified wood crates for Brevard County businesses exporting machinery, vehicles, medical equipment, or any cargo requiring full enclosure. Documentation including certificate of heat treatment available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries require ISPM-15 export pallets when shipping from Cocoa?

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 Cocoa exporters.

What happens if I use non-certified pallets for export from Cocoa, Florida?

Using non-ISPM-15 pallets for international shipments from Cocoa 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 Cocoa exporters.

Can I get export crates built in Cocoa that are ISPM-15 certified?

Yes, we build custom ISPM-15 certified wood export crates for Cocoa and Brevard County businesses. Export crates must use ISPM-15 certified lumber throughout - every piece of solid wood must be heat treated and stamped. This is particularly important for machinery, aerospace components, defense hardware, and high-value equipment exports where full enclosure is needed for protection during international transit.
