Last updated: August 2026 dataWood pallets and load boards are essential logistics infrastructure across virtually every goods-moving supply chain, and Canada and Mexico — both USMCA partners — dominate US import supply under this heading. The US schedule distinguishes pallets used in fruit and vegetable harvest (4415204000) from general-purpose pallets and load boards (4415208000). Like all wood packaging material, pallets entering the US must comply with ISPM-15 phytosanitary treatment requirements enforced by USDA APHIS, and non-compliant units are subject to remediation or refusal at the port of entry.

Yes. Repaired pallets must have all replacement wood components treated to ISPM-15 standards, and the pallet must be re-marked to reflect the treatment. Pallets that have been repaired with untreated wood or that bear incomplete or illegible IPPC marks are subject to APHIS enforcement action at the US border. Importers sourcing used pallets should obtain treatment certificates from suppliers.
The US tariff schedule provides a dedicated line (4415204000) for pallets and box-pallets designed for harvesting fruits and vegetables, separate from the general NESOI line (4415208000). Classification depends on the pallet's design features and documented end use; importers should retain manufacturer specifications to support the correct tariff line.
