Export to Northern America

How can I export to North America?

Your industry is rapidly expanding into North America. You need to be able to export quickly to meet the growing demand for your products across the Atlantic.

The US standard wooden pallet (Mark 55) is the answer. This is our dedicated pallet for export to North America, Canada and Mexico. The US standard pallet is ISPM15 compliant (heat treated), which means it complies with the regulations for travel to North America. It’s also adapted to all production lines and automated warehouses thanks to its 1219 x 1016 mm (48”x40” inches) format. Due to compatibility with all North American material handling equipment, the US standard pallet saves you additional repalletising costs.

The US standard pallet from CHEP is accepted by the main distributors in the United States and Canada. CHEP is the only pallet pooling company offering US size export pallets.
