Georgia is the economic engine of the American Southeast - home to the world's busiest airport, the East Coast's highest-volume container port (Port of Savannah), and the corporate headquarters of Coca-Cola, Home Depot, UPS, Delta Air Lines, and dozens of Fortune 500 companies. The state's pallet market is one of the fastest-growing in the country, driven by food and beverage manufacturing, automotive supply chains, and explosive logistics and 3PL expansion in the Atlanta metro. This guide covers Georgia pallet pricing, county-by-county delivery, industry-specific requirements, and Port of Savannah ISPM-15 compliance for 2026.

Where the $10 ceiling comes from. It is this page's own volume row: at 500 pallets and up, Grade A recycled runs $6 to $10 each, against $8 to $13 at ordinary order sizes. So $10 is the number to hold a supplier to on a large Georgia order, not an aspiration. Georgia prices below most of the country for a structural reason rather than a promotional one: the state sits on the southern yellow pine belt, so both new-pallet lumber and recycled cores are sourced close to the yard. Prices as of August 2026. Compare against other states in our pallet cost guide.
Georgia hosts over 1,500 food companies - Coca-Cola, Chick-fil-A, Smithfield, Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson, and hundreds of poultry processors and food manufacturers. Food-grade GMA pallets meeting FSMA/GFSI standards are in constant high demand. Florida Pallet Supply grades all food-grade inventory before delivery to GA food facilities.
Automotive
Kia's plant in West Point GA, Hyundai's Metaplant in Ellabell (near Savannah), and hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers across north and central Georgia drive automotive pallet demand. Block pallets and custom industrial pallets for heavy metal parts are the core product for this sector.
Port of Savannah / Export
The Georgia Ports Authority Garden City Terminal processes more containers than any East Coast port. ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets are mandatory for all wood pallet export through Savannah. Florida Pallet Supply provides IPPC-certified HT pallets same-day to Savannah-area freight forwarders and exporters.
Logistics & 3PL
The Atlanta metro is a national 3PL hub. Prologis, Duke Realty, Majestic, and major 3PLs including Ryder, XPO, and GEODIS operate millions of square feet in Douglas, Paulding, Henry, Newton, and Forsyth counties. Grade A recycled GMA at volume pricing is the core product for GA 3PL operators.

Port of Savannah: Export Pallet Requirements
The Georgia Ports Authority Garden City Terminal (Port of Savannah) is the fastest-growing major US port and one of the top 5 container ports in North America. All wood pallets used in export shipments processed through Savannah must be ISPM-15 compliant - this is a USDA APHIS federal requirement enforced at the port.
Requirement
Detail
Applicable standard
ISPM-15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15)
Approved treatment
Heat Treatment (HT): 56°C core temp for 30 minutes minimum
IPPC mark
Required on both stringers/blocks - must be legible at inspection
Enforcement point
USDA APHIS Plant Protection at Port of Savannah
Non-compliance
Container held; pallets must be replaced or treated at shipper cost
Plastic pallet exemption
Plastic pallets exempt - no ISPM-15 treatment required
FPS HT pallets
All FPS heat-treated pallets carry IPPC mark; Heat Treatment Certificate available
Savannah is not the only Southeast export gateway a Georgia shipper uses. Loads routed south through Charleston or north through Wilmington face the same ISPM-15 heat treatment and IPPC marking rules at a different APHIS inspection point, and the pallet pricing bands differ by state. Our South Carolina pallet buying guide covers Port of Charleston requirements and 2026 SC pricing, and the North Carolina pallet buying guide covers Port of Wilmington and 2026 NC pricing.
Automotive Pallet Requirements in Georgia
Georgia's automotive sector - anchored by Kia in West Point and Hyundai's Metaplant America in Bryan County - has specific pallet requirements for parts logistics that differ from standard food or retail pallets:
Block pallets preferred for heavy metal parts (castings, stampings, assemblies)
Load capacity: verify actual part weight against GMA 48x40 dynamic (2,800 lb) and rack (2,000 lb) ratings
4-way entry required for automated material handling compatibility
Custom pallet sizes available for non-standard parts (engine cradles, body panels)
Returnable/dunnage pallet programs common in Tier 1 automotive supply chain
Some OEM suppliers require specific pallet certifications matching automotive quality standards
Frequently Asked Questions
For large volume orders (500+ pallets) in Georgia, look for suppliers who can guarantee Grade A consistency across the full order, offer flexible delivery scheduling (live load, drop trailer, or customer pickup), and provide volume pricing below $10 per pallet for Grade A recycled. Florida Pallet Supply serves all 159 Georgia counties with same-day availability in the Atlanta metro and 24-48 hour delivery to Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Columbus, and south Georgia. We stock thousands of Grade A GMA pallets and new block pallets for GA delivery at any volume.
ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets are required only for export shipments - containers leaving the US for foreign destinations. Domestic shipments from Georgia to other US states do not require ISPM-15 treatment. If you are a freight forwarder, NVO, or manufacturer shipping product internationally through Savannah, all wood pallets in the container must bear the IPPC heat treatment mark. Florida Pallet Supply provides same-day ISPM-15 certified pallets to Savannah-area exporters.
We offer same-day delivery to the Atlanta metro area (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, and adjacent counties) for orders placed before 10 AM on business days. Larger orders (250+ pallets by flatbed or dry van) typically deliver same-day or next-day. We maintain Atlanta-area inventory to support emergency pallet needs for 3PL operators and distribution centers.
Georgia's poultry processors (Pilgrim's Pride, Koch Foods, Wayne Farms) and food manufacturers typically use Grade A new or Grade A recycled GMA pallets for outbound product. Food-grade pallets must be dry, odor-free, free of contamination, and MB-stamp free. Many poultry processors also use plastic pallets in wet processing areas where wood is not suitable. Florida Pallet Supply provides food-grade inspected pallets to Georgia food facilities with same-day delivery to north and central Georgia poultry corridors.
The Atlanta metro has several pallet recyclers, but quality and Grade A consistency varies significantly. The risk with small local recyclers is inconsistent grading - Grade B pallets sold as Grade A will cause retailer chargebacks or rejected loads. Florida Pallet Supply maintains rigorous Grade A grading standards and provides documented grading with volume orders. We can serve as your primary GA pallet supplier or supplement local sourcing for peak demand periods.
