What Is ISPM 15
ISPM 15 is an international standard that ensures wooden packaging is safe for global trade. It was created by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) to prevent pests and diseases spreading through untreated wood.
ISPM 15 applies to solid wood packaging thicker than 6mm, including:
- Crates
- Pallets
- Boxes
- Dunnage and supports
To meet the standard, the wood must be heat treated and stamped with the official ISPM 15 mark, proving it is safe and approved for export.
Using an ISPM 15 compliant crate helps you avoid:
- Customs delays
- Quarantine or inspections
- Costly repacking or fumigation
- Shipment rejection at the border
With certified crates, your goods pass smoothly through international control points — saving time, cost, and risk.
