Heat treated pallets certified to ISPM-15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) are required for virtually all international wood packaging material. The standard mandates that all solid wood used in pallets and crates be heat treated to a core temperature of 56°C for 30 continuous minutes, eliminating wood-boring insects and pathogens that could devastate agricultural ecosystems.
Florida Pallet Supply delivers ISPM-15 certified heat treated pallets to Cortez, Florida businesses shipping internationally. Our heat treatment process uses kiln drying to achieve and sustain the required 56°C core temperature. All treated pallets receive the official IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) stamp mark showing the country code (US), producer ID, treatment indicator (HT), and wood species.
Manatee County businesses shipping to Canada, Mexico, the European Union, China, Australia, Japan, Brazil, and 175+ other countries require ISPM-15 HT pallets. Failure to use certified pallets can result in customs rejection, destroyed shipments, and significant financial penalties.

ISPM-15 is an international phytosanitary standard that requires all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnage) used in international trade to be heat treated or fumigated. This prevents the spread of invasive insects and plant diseases. Without ISPM-15 certified pallets, your Cortez shipments can be refused at customs, destroyed, or returned at your cost.
The IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) stamp is the official mark indicating a pallet meets ISPM-15 requirements. It shows: the international wheat symbol (IPPC mark), the 2-letter country code (US), the producer registration number, the treatment type (HT for heat treated), and the wood species code. All pallets we deliver to Cortez carry this marking.
Over 180 countries require ISPM-15 compliance, including all EU member states, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and most other major trading partners. Some countries have additional requirements beyond ISPM-15. We can advise on specific requirements for your Cortez export destinations.
