What to specify

Details that change the pallet

  • 02RackingRacked drums need a stronger deck than floor-stacked ones.
  • 03ContaminationPallets that carried chemicals should not go on to food use. Say what the pallets will carry.
  • 04ExportSolid wood pallets crossing a border fall under ISPM-15. See heat-treated pallets.
  • 05Regulated loadsA pallet does not make a regulated load compliant. Check the rules for what you ship with your compliance lead.
