Get a Price →ISPM-15 IPPC compliance framework for New Mexico pallet operations - specifications, audit prep, documentation requirements.
International Plant Protection Convention ISPM-15 is the international phytosanitary standard for wood packaging used in international trade. For New Mexico pallet buyers, ISPM-15 IPPC compliance specifies: Heat treatment 56C core 30+ minutes at ALSC-accredited facility, IPPC mark with country/facility/HT codes, USDA-APHIS enforcement.
New Mexico pallet operations align with ISPM-15 IPPC framework regardless of state-specific overlays. ISPM-15 IPPC applies uniformly across the United States, with New Mexico buyers required to maintain documented compliance per shipment, retain records for prescribed periods, and submit to ISPM-15 IPPC-aligned audits when applicable. USP delivers New Mexico-bound pallets with ISPM-15 IPPC-aligned documentation included by default.
New Mexico buyers preparing for ISPM-15 IPPC-aligned audits should maintain: vendor compliance certificates, kiln-drying validation, ASTM D1185 load test certificates, ISPM-15 stamping records, FSMA Sanitary Transportation documentation, sanitation procedures, and corrective action records. USP's standard documentation package covers all required elements with audit-ready retention.
