California regulatory context

California Proposition 65 requires warning labels on pallets containing listed chemicals; our heat-treated stock uses no listed chemicals and ships with Prop 65 compliance attestations for every commercial invoice.

Pallet specification detail

Pallet weight: new GMA averages 38-42 lb per unit; recycled Grade A averages 35-39 lb; lighter chemical-industry 40x40 pallets weigh 28-32 lb; freight estimation should use 40 lb/pallet for inbound planning.

Recycled-Grade A pallets meet 48x40 GMA spec with cosmetic wear only; no broken boards, no replaced stringers, all original GMA stamp visible; suitable for primary food-grade and pharmaceutical loads.
