Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the largest container port on the US East Coast and one of the top five ports in the United States by TEU volume. It is the primary import gateway for the Northeast's 25 million consumers and a major export port for US manufactured goods, agricultural products, and chemicals. ISPM-15 enforcement at Port Newark is among the strictest in the US -- US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and USDA APHIS inspectors are active at the terminal. Non-compliant pallets can result in cargo holds, fumigation at the importer's expense, or shipment rejection. New Jersey importers and exporters need documented ISPM-15 certified pallets from a trusted supplier.
