ISPM-15 Compliant Wood Packaging for Global Exports
Shipping products internationally requires more than just a pallet or crate. Many countries have strict regulations governing wood packaging materials to prevent the spread of pests, insects, and plant diseases. Businesses that fail to comply with these regulations risk shipment delays, customs issues, rejected freight, and costly penalties.
US Wood & Service Inc. provides heat-treated pallets and wooden crates that meet ISPM-15 international shipping requirements. Whether you’re exporting machinery, manufacturing equipment, aerospace components, construction materials, or commercial products, we can provide compliant wood packaging solutions designed for international transportation.
Located in Canoga Park, we proudly serve exporters throughout Los Angeles and Southern California with reliable heat-treated pallets, crates, and custom wood packaging solutions.
What Is Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment is a specialized process used to eliminate insects, larvae, fungi, and other pests that may exist within raw wood materials.
During the process, wood packaging materials are heated to specific temperatures for a required period of time to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
Once treated and certified, pallets and crates become eligible for export to countries that require ISPM-15 compliant packaging.
Heat treatment helps protect global ecosystems while allowing goods to move safely through international supply chains.
What Is ISPM-15?
ISPM-15 stands for International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15.
These regulations were developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and are recognized by many countries worldwide.
The standard requires wood packaging materials used in international shipping to undergo approved treatment methods before export.
ISPM-15 applies to:
- Wood pallets
- Wooden crates
- Skids
- Dunnage
- Shipping platforms
- Wood packaging components
Businesses exporting products internationally must ensure their wood packaging complies with these requirements.
Why Heat-Treated Pallets Matter
Many countries will not allow shipments containing untreated wood packaging materials.
Failure to comply may result in:
- Customs delays
- Shipment rejection
- Additional inspection fees
- Repackaging costs
- Product delays
- Increased shipping expenses
Using properly heat-treated pallets helps ensure your shipment moves smoothly through customs and reaches its destination without unnecessary complications.
