What ISPM-15 Heat Treatment Is

ISPM-15 is the international standard for wood packaging in export, set by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The wood is heated until its core holds 56°C (133°F) for 30 continuous minutes, which kills the pests and pathogens that customs agencies are checking for. The treated pallet gets a stamp; the stamp is what gets your freight through the border.

Heat-Treated Pallet FAQs

The questions buyers actually call us with.

What exactly is an HT pallet?
A wooden pallet that's been through a heat treatment process to eliminate pests and pathogens: the wood core is heated to at least 56°C (133°F) and held there for 30 continuous minutes. That's the requirement under ISPM-15, the international standard for wood packaging in export.
How do I know a pallet is genuinely heat-treated?
Look for the ISPM-15 stamp on the side of the pallet. It carries the IPPC logo, a country code, a unique identifier for the treatment provider, and "HT" for heat treatment. Ours is traceable straight back to our facility in White, GA, and we provide a certificate of compliance with the order.
Why heat treatment instead of chemical fumigation?
Heat leaves no chemical residue on the wood, which matters if you ship food, beverage, or pharmaceutical products. It also lowers the wood's moisture content, which helps the pallet resist rot. Methyl bromide fumigation is the chemical alternative, and it's restricted or banned in much of the world.
Do domestic shipments need HT pallets?
No — ISPM-15 applies to wood packaging crossing international borders. Freight staying inside the U.S. doesn't need the stamp. If some of your loads export and some don't, we can supply both from the same order.
Can recycled pallets be heat-treated?
Yes. Our chamber treats both new and recycled lumber, so you can get the HT stamp on a recycled pallet base and save money on export loads. HT pallets are also reusable and recyclable themselves — treatment doesn't change that.
Does heat treatment weaken the pallet?
No. Heat treatment doesn't affect the pallet's strength or load capacity — it sterilizes and dries the wood, it doesn't degrade it.
Do you keep HT pallets in stock?
Yes — 48×40 GMA HT pallets are stocked at the yard, and other sizes can be treated on order. Same-week delivery on our own trucks across Atlanta, Chattanooga, and North Georgia.
