Export Pallets-
Let the experts at Century Pallets help guide through the export hassles by providing Heat Treated ISPM-15 compliant pallets.
Century Pallets manufactures licensed heat-treated pallets to comply with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures, publication 15 ( ISPM-15 ) set by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).
If you export goods to any of the 133 countries implementing ISPM-15, all export pallets, crates, export box’s, and solid wood packing (SWP) dunnage needs to be either Heat Treated (HT) to a core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes, Methyl Bromide fumigation (MB), or use Chemical Pressure Impregnated lumber (CPI).
All of Century Pallets heat-treated products carry the IPPC’s official heat-treated mark, signifying that our heat-treated wood packaging material is ISPM 15 compliant. This will ensure that all shipments will be accepted into any country abiding by these regulations. All solid wood packaging material, SWP, regardless of species (hardwoods and softwoods), must be heat-treated to meet ISPM 15 standards. Century Pallets undergoes third part inspection by an accredited agency to ensure all steps of the heat-treatment process are done correctly.
Century Pallets chooses heat treatment over other methods as a completely safe and effective method of complying with ISPM 15 standards. Heat-treatment is clean and safe and devoid of toxic chemicals like methyl bromide or CPI. Methyl bromide has been identified as contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer and is being phased out in all applications except for fumigation of wood packaging materials.
Debarked / bark-free is an additional requirement implemented by some countries. Century Pallets can accommodate if this is a requirement.
The list of countries implementing ISPM-15 and any additional requirements is growing, contact Century Pallets for current information.
