Export pallets and crates heat-treated and marked to ISPM 15
We make wooden pallets, crates and packaging for cargo leaving the EU — to Norway, the United Kingdom and every other country that applies ISPM 15 — and heat-treat them in our own plant. Each item carries the IPPC mark with the country code LT, our registration number and the treatment code HT, so the shipment clears plant-health checks without delay.
Outside the EU, wooden packaging must be treated and marked — otherwise the shipment can be held at the border.
Heat treatment (HT)
The wood is heated until its core holds at least 56 °C for at least 30 minutes — the ISPM 15 requirement for killing wood pests.
The IPPC mark
The mark shows the IPPC symbol, the country code LT, the producer’s registration number and the treatment code HT. We apply it where it is clearly visible, on at least two opposite sides.
For Norway and other non-EU countries
Norway is not in the EU. Its food safety authority, Mattilsynet, requires the wooden packaging in every import shipment, used EUR pallets included, to be treated and marked to ISPM 15.
What we treat for export
| Type | Dimensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EUR-format pallet, HT | 1200 × 800 × 144 mm | Built to the EPAL construction specification, without the EPAL mark, IPPC-marked for export. |
| Industrial pallet, HT | 1200 × 1000 mm | For container and sea freight. |
| One-way export pallet, HT | to suit the cargo | A lighter design for a single trip. |
| Export crates and skids, HT | to suit the equipment | Closed or slatted crates and transport skids for equipment. |
| Pallet lids, HT | 1200 × 800, 1200 × 1000 mm | To cover the load and stabilise the stack. |
Export items are treated in our own plant in Judrėnai. ISPM 15 is generally not required for wooden packaging moving within the EU, but we apply it whenever the cargo will travel on beyond it.
