Heat-Treated Pallets (ISPM 15 Certified) – UK Supply for Export

CERTIFIED HEAT-TREATED PALLETS

If you’re shipping goods internationally, you’ll likely need heat-treated pallets that meet ISPM 15 regulations.
 

At Davies Pallets, we supply IPPC-stamped, export-ready pallets, processed in our on-site kiln in Liverpool for fast turnaround and full compliance.
 

Our heat-treated pallets are suitable for:
 

  • Export outside the UK and EU

  • Shipping to the USA, Australia, Asia and global markets

  • Freight by road, sea and air

What Are Heat-Treated Pallets?

Heat-treated pallets are wooden pallets that have been treated to eliminate pests and insects, making them safe for international shipping.
 

To meet ISPM 15 standards, the wood must be:
 

  • Heated to a core temperature of 56°C

  • Maintained for at least 30 minutes
     

Once treated, pallets are stamped with the IPPC mark, confirming they are compliant for export.

Why ISPM 15 Compliance Matters

If your pallets are not compliant, your shipment can be:
 

  • Delayed at customs

  • Rejected or returned

  • Quarantined or destroyed


Using certified heat-treated pallets ensures your goods move smoothly through international borders without disruption.

IPPC Stamp – What to Look For

Every compliant pallet will display an IPPC stamp, which includes:
 

  • Country code (e.g. GB)

  • Unique producer number

  • Treatment type (HT = Heat Treated)


This stamp is essential proof that your pallets meet global shipping regulations.

On-Site Kiln = Faster Turnaround

Unlike many suppliers, Davies Pallets operates an on-site heat treatment kiln in Liverpool.
 

This means:
 

  • Faster lead times

  • No reliance on third-party processing

  • Greater control over quality and availability


If you need pallets quickly for an upcoming shipment, this can make a significant difference.
