What Is ISPM-15 and Why Does It Matter?
Heat Treatment (HT) is one of the most widely used methods for meeting ISPM-15 requirements for solid wood packaging used in international shipping.
The wood must reach a core temperature of at least 56°C (132.8°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes to help eliminate pests and other organisms that could spread through international trade.
Recognized internationally for compliant wood packaging used in export shipments.
No chemical treatment is used during the heat-treatment process.
Applies to solid wood packaging, including pallets, crates, and dunnage.
Compliant wood packaging is marked with the official ISPM-15 stamp after treatment.

How It Works
Here's how wood pallets are heat treated to meet ISPM-15 requirements for international shipping.

Pallets are loaded into a certified heat-treatment chamber.
Heat Treatment
The wood is heated until its core reaches at least 56°C (132.8°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
ISPM-15 Marking
Compliant pallets receive the official ISPM-15 mark, including the IPPC symbol, country code, facility identification, and HT treatment code.
Documentation
Documentation can be provided upon request to support export and shipping records.
