What is ISPM 15 and Why Does it Matter?
ISPM 15 is an international standard adopted by most countries worldwide. It mandates that all solid wood packaging materials—like traditional wooden pallets—must be subjected to approved phytosanitary treatments, typically heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation, and be appropriately marked. Non-compliance can lead to costly delays, rejection of entire shipments, or even the destruction of goods at the port of entry. This is a major concern for businesses relying on conventional wood pallets.In today’s interconnected global supply chain, navigating international phytosanitary regulations is not just a formality—it is a critical requirement for seamless cross-border trade. A significant barrier often encountered is the ISPM 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) regulation, which governs the treatment of wood packaging material to prevent the international spread of pests and diseases. We are proud to state that our press wood pallets are fully compliant with ISPM 15, providing a smooth, hassle-free solution for your export operations.
