ISPM-15 Heat Treated Export Crate
Custom ISPM-15 IPPC-marked crates, load-rated batten schedule, foam interior from your CAD — quoted per m³.
Product category
Export crating, transit cases and retail display fixtures
Two things a shipment needs and no marketplace listing gives you: a crate that passes customs inspection, and a display unit that survives a store's floor space. Both are woodworking, and both keep you on the phone with a buyer every year.

Specification depth
Engineering the crate before we cut the board
A crate is a structural item with a regulatory stamp. We start from the load path, total weight, centre of gravity, stacking class, whether it is forked or hand-carried, then choose batten pitch and ply grade, and only then send you the drawing for approval.
- ISPM-15 heat treatment: 56 °C core for 30 minutes, kiln record per lot, IPPC mark with our treatment licence number on every panel.
- Plywood selection: phenolic-faced for repeat use, WBP birch or poplar core for one-way; we flag AD/CVD exposure where relevant (hardwood decorative plywood into the US is restricted, see our US guide).
- Interior: EPE/PE foam, ply dividers, or CNC-cut nesting; drop-tested to ISTA 3A / 3B when you have a parcel or pallet route.
- Documentation: drawing with dimensions and material, treatment certificate, packing list to your SKU codes, fumigation alternative where requested.
- Display units: flat-pack with cam locks, retail-ready, and printed graphic faces applied in our booth.
Built for these buyers
Who orders crating and display, and how often
- Industrial & instrument importers: annual crate programme, 20–200 pcs, reusable with return-ship schedule.
- Retail & FMCG brands: Q4 display drops, 500–5,000 units, flat-packed with graphics and assembly card.
- Freight forwarders: we build to their client's commodity spec and stamp it correctly — a repeat business worth more than the margin on the ply.

| Market | Entry requirement we document |
|---|---|
| All destinations | ISPM-15 heat treatment + IPPC mark on any coniferous wood packaging; no fumigation substitute accepted by Australia, US, EU, Canada, Japan |
| United States | CBP/PF reporting; hardwood decorative plywood is subject to AD/CVD. We substitute softwood or birch ply where exposure exists |
| European Union | EUDR currently excludes packaging that is not timber product per se, but the goods inside are in scope. We help you keep records consistent |
| Australia / NZ | Strict bark-free, pest-free inspection; we quote an ASM-1647-compliant build and photograph the stamping before closing the container |
Landed-cost example: a 40'HQ of this category typically lands 18–34% above FOB once freight, duty and port handling are included. We build the packing list to maximise cube. Ask for the CBM per 40'HQ sheet.
FAQ
Category questions we get in every RFQ thread
The answers below are the ones we give on the phone. Anything missing, ask on WhatsApp.
Can you mark the crates with our company name and asset numbers?
Yes, stencil the IPPC mark plus your logo, PO number, asset tag, handling icons and destination, and add aluminium number plates on reusable cases. The IPPC mark itself must follow the standard format and cannot be altered; everything else is your branding.
Do you support customers who just need a few crates, not a container?
Yes. MOQ 50 pcs keeps the tooling honest, but for one-off instrument cases we build 5–10 pcs at a small-batch rate. We also keep your drawing on file, so a reorder takes 10 days instead of 25.
We need display units for a store rollout. Can you manage graphics?
We print, die-cut and apply CMYK graphics, provide the assembly card and pack to your store plan, one carton per store. Send the rollout list and we will quote by store cluster so your field team does not sort components on site.
What paperwork arrives with an ISPM-15 shipment?
Treatment certificate with lot number, kiln temperature curve, marking photograph, packing list and a declaration referencing the ISPM-15 stamp applied. We keep these on file for two years for audit.
