Wooden Pallet Articles
How wooden pallets are made: 6 steps from log selection to QC, including kiln drying under 20% and ISPM 15 heat treatment to 56C core for 30 min.
Compare 5 pallet wood types by density, strength, moisture resistance and cost. Acacia lasts 4-6 years; pick the right one by load and warehouse type.
Export wooden pallets to Europe: ISPM-15 heat treatment, EPAL/EUR standards, the 4 documents you need, and per-pallet costs of 300,000-500,000 VND.
Exporting wooden pallets to the US: meet ISPM-15 (56C heat or methyl bromide), apply the IPPC mark, and prepare 10 key documents for smooth customs clearance.
Loscam is a red pooled pallet (1100x1100, 1200x1000 mm, 25-35 kg) rented by cycle, not bought. See sizes, weights, pooling model and how it compares.
ISO 6780:2003 defines 6 standard pallet footprints (1100x1100, 1200x1000, 1200x800 mm and more). See dimensions in mm and inches plus export use.
Fumigation certificate explained: which goods need it, what 9 fields it must list, and a fumigation fee of about 300,000-500,000 VND per pallet in Vietnam.
Methyl bromide (MB) fumigates wood pallets under ISPM 15 in 16-24 hours, but the EU banned it in 2005. See health risks, ozone facts and HT alternatives.
Heat treatment (HT) heats pallet wood to a 56C core for at least 30 minutes, killing pests chemical-free and meeting ISPM 15 for exports to 100+ countries.
Decode the ISPM-15 stamp on pallets: read the IPPC mark, the DB-HT-MB codes, and country IDs. Avoid USD 10,000-50,000 losses from rejected wood packaging.
