ISPM-15 Heat-Treated Export Pallets in Baltimore, MD

ISPM-15 heat treatment requires the wood core to reach 56°C (132.8°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes. This process, performed by USDA APHIS-recognized providers, eliminates insects and pathogens without chemical fumigants, allowing the pallet to receive the official HT stamp required for export.

A compliant ISPM-15 stamp includes four required elements: the IPPC two-leaf logo, the ISO country code, a unique treatment provider identification number, and the treatment-method code (HT for heat treatment, or DB if the wood is also debarked). Missing any element can cause shipment rejection.

We supply ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets in all standard GMA sizes (48x40, 48x48, 42x42, 44x44, 36x36), Euro-size, and custom export-spec dimensions including 44x44 IBC tote pallets and 48x42 chemical/telecom pallets. Custom load ratings and construction types are also available on request.

Non-compliant wood packaging is typically rejected at the port-of-entry, returned to the exporter at their expense, fumigated at the destination, or destroyed outright. These outcomes cause costly delays, so verifying proper HT stamping before shipment is critical for any international export program.
