Heat-Treated Pallets
ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets for international shipping

Many countries apply the ISPM 15 phytosanitary standard to solid wood packaging. HT-stamped pallets, available through partner suppliers in our network, undergo controlled heat treatment designed to kill pests and pathogens, without fumigation.

Benefits of Heat-Treated Pallets
Widely Used Standard
ISPM 15 is widely adopted worldwide, which makes the stamped mark a common reference for international shipments.
Pest Control
Heat treatment is designed to kill insects, larvae, and pathogens in wood, helping limit the spread of invasive species across borders.
Clear Marking for Customs
The ISPM 15 mark shows that the wood was treated. Check current regulations with your customs broker.
No Chemical Treatment
Uses heat rather than methyl bromide or other fumigants, so no chemical fumigant residue on the wood.
Documentation on Request
Ask partner suppliers whether treatment documentation is available for audits and customs paperwork.
Standard or Custom Sizes
Heat-treated pallets can be requested in standard sizes or custom dimensions through partner suppliers.
