ISPM 15 is the standard for wooden pallets and packaging in international trade, and it requires heat treatment or fumigation plus a stamp on the wood. A pallet that is not ISPM 15 marked can be held or rejected at the border.
What ISPM 15 does
ISPM 15 is the International Plant Protection Convention standard for solid-wood packaging. It requires the pallet or the wood packaging to be heat-treated or fumigated, and then stamped, so pests are not moved across a border. A pallet without the mark is not compliant.
Compliance options
| Вариант | What it does | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Heat treated | Kiln or heat | Marked HT |
| Fumigated | Methyl bromide | Marked MB |
| Stamp | IPPC mark | The compliance proof |
Confirm the pallet is heat-treated or fumigated and carries the IPPC stamp. A pallet without the mark is not compliant and can be held at the border. Confirm the mark is on the pallet, not a document, because the stamp is the proof.
For a US-market import, the wood packaging rule applies, so confirm the pallet meets it.
See the US Federal Trade Commission on commercial claims for the accuracy behind a compliance claim.

FAQ about ISPM 15 and fumigation
Что такое МСФЗ № 15?
Стандарт Международной конвенции по защите растений в отношении упаковки из массива дерева, предусматривающий термическую обработку или фумигацию, а также нанесение штампа на поддон.
Зачем на поддоне нужна эта маркировка?
Без штампа IPPC поддон не соответствует требованиям и может быть задержан или отклонен на границе. Штамп служит подтверждением соответствия.
Что лучше: термическая обработка или фумигация?
Оба варианта соответствуют требованиям МСФЗ № 15. Термическая обработка обозначается аббревиатурой HT, а фумигация — MB. Проверьте документацию.
Маркировка находится на поддоне или в документе?
The mark is on the pallet. A document alone is not enough, because the stamp on the wood is the compliance proof.
