JAXPORT is the 3rd largest East Coast container port and #1 US auto port. Pallet operations support both vehicle parts and consumer goods flows.
JAXPORT spans Blount Island, Talleyrand, and Dames Point marine terminals. Pallet flows support imports, exports, and inland distribution to Florida and Georgia.
Florida operates with several distinctive industry characteristics: hurricane-season supply chain disruption windows, year-round high humidity affecting wood moisture content, the highest export pallet demand in the Southeast US through PortMiami, JAXPORT, Port Tampa Bay, Port Everglades, and Port Manatee, and Florida's position as the gateway for 60%+ of US-Latin America trade. Per NWPCA member surveys, Florida's pallet demand profile is among the most concentrated in the US.
Florida operations sit within the same federal frameworks as all US operations: FSMA for food sanitation, USDA-APHIS for export wood packaging, OSHA for workplace safety, EPA for waste/recycling. Florida-specific overlays include hurricane preparedness (FEMA), state agricultural regulations (FDACS for produce/citrus), and county-level industrial regulations.
