How ISPM-15 Affects Pallet Procurement

Pallet buyers serving regulated industries should align procurement with ISPM-15 requirements.

Specifications: Pallet specs (kiln-dried, ISPM-15, FSMA, GDP) matched to ISPM-15 requirements
Supplier qualification: Annual or per-shipment qualification for regulated buyers

Recordkeeping: 12-24 months minimum (varies by regulation)
