Wood Pallets, Box Pallets, and Other Load Boards

Wooden pallets and load boards are a foundational logistics input across virtually every goods-moving industry, from food distribution to automotive parts. Phytosanitary treatment — typically heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation certified under ISPM 15 — is a mandatory entry requirement for solid wood packaging material entering the US, and non-compliant shipments face refusal or treatment at the port. Importers should also be aware that wood pallets sourced from certain countries may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders depending on species and construction.
