Exporting from Buford, Georgia? 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.
