Certified ISPM 15 Packaging & Crating Services
When exporting goods internationally, compliance with ISPM 15 packaging standards is not just recommended — it’s mandatory. At Metropolitan Logistics, we provide fully certified ISPM 15 wood packaging and crating services designed to meet global export regulations. Our team builds, stamps, and delivers export-ready crates that meet all phytosanitary and customs requirements.
Whether you’re shipping machinery, industrial parts, or fragile goods, our ISPM 15-compliant crates ensure your shipment passes inspection and arrives safely at its destination.
What Is ISPM 15 and Why It Matters
The ISPM 15 standard for wooden packaging (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) governs how wood used in export crates, pallets, and skids must be treated to prevent pest transmission. The regulation applies to nearly all countries and covers wood packaging thicker than 6 mm.
At Metropolitan Logistics, we are certified to produce and mark ISPM 15 wooden crates, meaning every piece of packaging we manufacture has undergone approved heat treatment (HT) or fumigation (MB). Each crate bears the official IPPC mark, ensuring full compliance with customs requirements worldwide.
