FAQ - Gaithersburg Cold Chain Pallets
Does United States Pallets supply Cold Chain Pallets for export from Gaithersburg?
Yes, with ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets carrying IPPC stamps and full ISPM-15 documentation. Generally required for any solid wood pallet crossing an international border. Common for Gaithersburg customers with port access via Maryland's major export gateways. Heat treatment brings the wood core to at least 56C (132.8F) for 30 continuous minutes, and the IPPC mark must appear on two opposite sides of each pallet.
Can United States Pallets handle Cold Chain Pallets for high-volume Gaithersburg operations?
Yes. Standing-order programs for Gaithersburg operations running 500+ pallets/week lock in tiered pricing, reserve delivery slots, and run on autopilot in the background. Custom contract terms available for accounts running 2,000+/week. Standing-program pricing sits below catalog pricing because the rate is locked for a set period against the softwood lumber market, and new volume accounts typically ship 1 to 3 prepaid loads before net-30 terms begin.
What's the minimum order quantity for Cold Chain Pallets?
50 pallets per order minimum on buy-side. Sell-side (buyback) minimum is 250 pallets per single-size load. Volume tiers kick in automatically as cumulative monthly volume increases - 500+/week accounts qualify for standing-order programs with reserved delivery slots. Single-pallet orders are not available, so buyers who need fewer pallets usually start with recycled Grade B stock, the lowest-priced published tier. Quotes are requested through the intake form.
