Heat-Treated and ISPM 15 Compliant

At Wisconsin Lumber & Pallet, we specialize in export crates that meet the stringent ISPM 15 requirements for international shipping. Our crates are fully ISPM 15 compliant and are designed to safely transport your products across borders. Whether you need OSB or Plywood crates, heat treated softwood, or hardwood crates, we provide durable, stackable solutions tailored to your needs.

What Are Export Crates?

Export crates are custom-designed wood packaging specifically engineered and certified for shipping goods internationally. These crates must comply with internationally accepted ISPM 15 regulations, which require that wood packaging materials be heat treated (or fumigated) and marked to prevent the spread of invasive pests.

Types of Export Crates We Offer

Heat-Treated OSB Crates:

  • Available with open sides for lighter loads or fully enclosed sides for added protection.
  • OSB and plywood crates are durable, stackable, and designed to optimize shipping efficiency.
  • Note: Because OSB crates are (usually) framed with non-engineered material, they are not exempt from ISPM 15 regulations and require an export compliance mark.

Heat-Treated Softwood Crates:

  • Economical yet sturdy, softwood crates are a cost-effective option for export.
  • Ideal for applications where weight or appearance is a concern, but strength is still required.

Heat-Treated Hardwood Crates:

  • Built for heavy-duty applications, hardwood crates offer exceptional strength and durability.
  • Perfect for shipping heavy or high-value items that require maximum protection.

Why ISPM 15 Compliance Matters for Export Crates

ISPM 15 regulations are an international standard aimed at reducing the spread of pests and diseases through wood packaging materials. Compliance ensures that your shipments are accepted by customs in the destination country.

Monthly Certification Inspections:

Manufacturers of export crates must be certified and inspected monthly to maintain compliance.

Custom ISPM 15 Stamp:

Certified manufacturers are authorized to use a custom stamp proving the wood packaging materials have been heat treated.

Avoid Costly Delays:

Non-compliance can result in shipment refusal, fumigation fees, or costly delays.
