Pallets must be in sellable condition, and the per-unit price depends on grade, size, and condition. Request a sell-back quote through the intake form with an estimated count and photos.
Does United States Pallets supply Cold Chain Pallets for export from Charleston?
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 Charleston customers with port access via South Carolina'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.
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.
