Port of Baltimore Sporting Goods Programs

Does United States Pallets supply sporting goods pallets for export from Baltimore?

Yes, with ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets carrying IPPC stamps and full ISPM-15 documentation. Required for international shipments to all WTO member countries. Common for Baltimore customers with port access via MD\'s major export gateways.

Can Baltimore customers run a buyback program alongside their pallet purchases?

Yes. Backhaul logistics are coordinated on outbound delivery routes - empty or non-spec pallets get picked up on the return leg of new pallet deliveries. Per-pallet freight cost on the backhaul approaches zero for accounts running both new-pallet purchase + buyback simultaneously.

How does United States Pallets compare to MD-based local pallet suppliers?

Local MD suppliers offer geographic proximity. United States Pallets offers nationwide sourcing depth, multi-grade inventory always in stock, sub-2-business-hour quote response, audit-ready documentation, and standing-order automation that local yards typically don\'t match.

Does United States Pallets buy back used pallets in Baltimore?

Yes. We buy back used pallets from Baltimore collectors, recyclers, and warehouses - 250-pallet minimum per load, single-size only (no mixed-size loads). Fast ACH payment, typically same-day or net-7 depending on volume. Pickup arranged on standard outbound delivery routes.

Does United States Pallets ship sporting goods pallets to all of MD?

Yes. We deliver to every commercial address in MD, with same-day shipping standard in our Southeast/Mid-Atlantic core and scheduled weekly delivery elsewhere. Baltimore-area accounts are typical - submit a quote with your dock location and we route accordingly.
