Shipping overseas? Request ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets from partner suppliers in the Seattle area.
ISPM 15 is the international standard for wood packaging used in trade. Most countries require pallets, crates and dunnage made of solid wood to be treated and marked before they cross the border. Treated pallets are commonly labelled "HT" (heat treated).
Requirements change, so check current regulations for your destination country before you ship.
Wood is heated until its core reaches at least 56 °C and is held there for at least 30 continuous minutes.
Treated material is stamped with the IPPC mark, a country code, the producer’s registration number and the treatment code.
Treatment and marking are done by facilities registered under an approved program. Partner suppliers source or treat pallets through such facilities.
Processed wood such as plywood, OSB and particle board is generally exempt. Plastic and metal pallets are not wood packaging.

ISPM 15 is an international phytosanitary standard for wood packaging material, such as pallets and crates, used in international trade. It aims to stop wood pests from spreading between countries.
Under ISPM 15, heat-treated wood must reach a minimum core temperature of 56 °C for at least 30 continuous minutes.
Compliant pallets carry the IPPC mark, which includes a country code, a producer or facility number, and a treatment code such as HT.
Usually not, but some customers require them. Check current regulations and your customer’s requirements for each destination.
