How KraftPal’s Paper Pallets Simplify Global Shipping and Avoid ISPM-15 Hassles

For exporters, every detail counts. From customs documentation to packaging compliance, global shipping is a high-stakes operation where even minor issues can lead to delays, added costs, or rejected shipments. And when it comes to transport packaging, wooden pallets can introduce more risk than you might expect.

That’s why more companies are switching to KraftPal’s corrugated cardboard pallets, a solution that eliminates the hidden friction in international logistics while aligning with sustainability goals and regulatory trends.

The Problem with Wooden Pallets in Export

Wooden pallets used for international shipments must comply with the ISPM-15 regulation, which requires heat treatment or fumigation to prevent the spread of pests across borders. This regulation, while essential for biosecurity, introduces a number of challenges:

• Added cost per pallet for treatment and certification

• Customs risk if pallets are not properly marked or documentation is incomplete

• Delays or rejections at border inspection points

• Administrative burden to manage compliance and traceability
  In addition, ISPM-15 treated pallets can’t be recycled in some countries, resulting in landfill waste or added disposal costs at the destination.

KraftPal: ISPM-15 Exempt and Export-Ready

KraftPal pallets are 100% paper-based and therefore naturally exempt from ISPM-15 regulations. No heat treatment. No fumigation. No stamps. No risk.

That means:

• No customs delays due to pallet treatment issues

• No return logistics needed for one-way exports

• No added costs for compliance certificates

• Recyclable worldwide, making disposal at the destination easy and sustainable

Whether you’re shipping pharmaceuticals, food products, electronics, or other high-value goods, KraftPal offers an export-friendly packaging solution that simplifies operations across borders.

Built for Modern Global Supply Chains

In addition to regulatory simplicity, KraftPal’s pallets support broader export and sustainability priorities:

• Up to 80% lighter than wood – reduces freight costs and CO₂ emissions

• Made from renewable materials – sourced from responsibly managed forests

• Fully recyclable – no separation of materials required

• ISPM-15 exempt – border-proof and biosecure

Perfect for One-Way Exports

KraftPal is especially useful for outbound shipments where the pallet does not return. Instead of paying for reverse logistics or risking penalties for unrecovered pooled pallets, exporters can send goods on KraftPal pallets and rest easy knowing they’re compliant, cost-efficient, and easy to dispose of at the destination. .
