Prices range from 40,000 VND for a used pallet to over 700,000 VND for new hardwood, depending on timber species, size and quantity. ICD Vietnam provides a detailed quote within 60 minutes.
1. What Is a Wooden Pallet and Where Is It Used?
Definition
A wooden pallet is a flat transport structure made from timber boards, used to stack, store and move goods in warehouses and during transport. Pallets are designed to be compatible with forklifts, pallet trucks and modern handling equipment, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of cargo damage.
Common applications
- Warehouse storage: Easy stacking, organising and preserving goods in racking systems.
- Export cargo: Heat-treated and fumigated pallets meet international phytosanitary standards (ISPM-15) for cross-border shipment.
- Furniture and interior use: Repurposed into tables, shelves and beds - an eco-friendly, aesthetically versatile material.
- Logistics and transport: Speeds up loading, unloading and transfer across the supply chain.

3. Factors That Affect Wooden Pallet Prices
Wooden pallet prices are not fixed - they shift with the following variables:
a. Timber species
- Acacia (keo): The most widely used timber in Vietnam, accounting for around 90% of pallet production. Affordable with consistent durability. Price: 100,000 - 250,000 VND/unit.
- Pine (thong): Attractive appearance, lightweight and easy to work, but lower load capacity than hardwood. Price: 400,000 - 600,000 VND/unit.
- Dau (dipterocarp) and xa cu (rain tree): High durability and excellent load-bearing capacity. Price: 550,000 - 700,000 VND/unit.
b. Size and design
- Larger footprints, thicker deck boards or four-way entry designs command a higher price.
- For example, a 1100 x 1100 mm pallet typically costs 120,000 - 200,000 VND depending on species and board thickness.
c. Order quantity
Bulk orders attract meaningful discounts. The larger the quantity, the lower the unit cost - contact ICD for volume pricing.
d. Geographic location
In major timber-producing provinces such as Dong Nai and Binh Duong, pallet prices are generally lower due to abundant raw material supply and shorter transport distances to buyers.
4. Quality Criteria for Wooden Pallets
| Criterion | Standard / Requirement |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Square footprint provides better load distribution and racking stability |
| Heat treatment and fumigation | ISPM-15 compliant: heat treatment at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes, or approved chemical fumigation |
| Technical specifications | Matched to intended use: export, cold-chain storage, standard warehousing |
| Durability and safety | Termite-resistant treatment, adequate load capacity, environmentally responsible timber sourcing |
