Prevent Costly Shipment Delays - Use a Plastic Export Pallet

5/9/2013

0 Comments

 
Have you ever had issues shipping your product out of the country? It might be time for you to consider a plastic export pallet.

Over the past 10 years, the term “export pallet” has become more prevalent. Export plastic pallets refer to pallets that are shipped overseas or out of the country.  

“Your load is being held at the border.”

These words will make any project manager or sales director shudder
Since the new ISPM-15 regulations came out, thousands upon thousands of wood pallet unit loads have been turned away or held at the border by customs. Why?

  • Sometimes the wood pallets did not meet the stringent export criteria.
  • Other times the custom agents were so overwhelmed, they simply could not inspect the wooden pallets. Instead, the agents just turned the pallets away.

One-Way Plastic Pallets to the Rescue

As ISPM-15 regulations have increased the headaches associated with sending products overseas, affordable plastic pallets have become a solution.

In fact, this new market has blossomed into an expanding product line that is also described as “one way” or “single trip” plastic pallets. These affordable plastic pallets are not only being sent overseas, but they are also making single trips throughout the US, Mexico and Canada on a daily basis.  

The Nelson Company is one of the top sellers of these new, cost effective export or one-way pallets. The 330 ACM plastic pallet is by far the number one selling single trip pallet on the market. It has become the “work horse” for a market that continues to grow year to year.
