July 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #72: Shipping Pallets To Foreign Countries

Tip of the Week

If you have “raw wood” pallets, they must be treated with a chemical treatment or a heat treatment to kill pests. Aluminum, steel, plastic, and “engineered wood” are exempt from these treatments. Unfortunately, you can’t simply apply a pest-control treatment to your raw wood pallets; this must be done with the supervision of an approved agency.
