Eco Pallets

Being an export business in Australia means you'll likely use pallets at some stage in your operations. Meeting export requirements is different for every industry, but no matter what you work with, you should understand efficient shipping practices, international pallet sizes and the ISPM 15 customs regulations.

Export pallets sizes and dimensions

You need to make sure that whoever receives your shipment can handle it quickly and efficiently. Every organization has its own setup in terms of what size fork lift it uses and the types of storage racking available. If you send your products on a pallet that conforms to their system, you stand a better chance of building a good relationship and seeing your goods dealt with as quickly as possible.

The standard pallet size used for shipments in Australia is 1165 mm x 1165 mm, but not all countries use the same measurements. Most countries have particular pallet dimensions they tend to work with. However, there is nothing stopping your suppliers doing something contrary to the norm. As a result, one of the most important steps you can take in setting up an international supply chain is talking to the suppliers and partners you intend to use.
