Understanding ISPM 15: Compliance Requirements for HT Pallets

When it comes to international shipping, one of the most critical aspects for businesses to understand is the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15, commonly referred to as ISPM 15. This standard, developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), outlines the requirements for wood packaging materials, including pallets, to prevent the spread of pests and diseases across borders. Compliance with ISPM 15 is mandatory for all businesses involved in global trade, and one of the key methods for meeting this requirement is through the use of heat-treated (HT) pallets.
