Do your custom crates need to be ISPM-15 certified for export from Ranches?
Yes, if you're exporting from Ranches, Florida to any of 180+ countries requiring ISPM-15, your custom wood crates must be made from heat treated lumber with IPPC stamping on every piece. We build ISPM-15 certified export crates for Ranches businesses shipping through local ports, airports, and freight forwarders. Compliance documentation included.
What is the difference between a wood crate and a wood pallet?
A pallet is a flat platform that supports cargo from below. A crate fully encloses cargo on all sides, including top, bottom, and all four walls. Crates are used when cargo needs protection from weather, impact, compression, or theft - common for machinery, electronics, precision instruments, and high-value goods. We supply both pallets and crates to Ranches businesses from the same operation.
