Get a FL Quote →All wood pallets and dunnage exporting from FL must be ISPM-15 heat-treated and IPPC-stamped per APHIS rule 7 CFR 319.40. FPS provides ALSC-accredited HT stamping at FL facilities for same-day port-bound loads. PortMiami is the busiest FL container port - book reefer/dry slots 5-7 days ahead during peak (Oct-Mar) trade with LATAM.
Florida hosts four major container ports serving distinct trade lanes. PortMiami is the gateway for LATAM and Caribbean trade with approximately 1.4M TEU annual throughput. JAXPORT (Jacksonville) is FL's Puerto Rico hub plus auto imports. Port Tampa Bay handles LATAM phosphate and break-bulk. Port Everglades focuses on cruise + petroleum but moves significant container volume to LATAM.
FPS supplies ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets for FL export operations with ALSC-accredited HT stamping at our FL facilities. Same-day delivery to PortMiami and Port Everglades from our FL inventory. Required documentation for each export load: BOL, packing list, IPPC stamp records, and APHIS-compliant heat treatment certification per 7 CFR 319.40.
Every wood pallet, dunnage stick, and crate leaving any FL port must carry the IPPC stamp showing country code (US), treatment code (HT), and producer registration number. APHIS port-of-export inspectors at PortMiami, JAXPORT, Port Tampa Bay, and Port Everglades issue civil penalties up to $1,000 per non-compliant unit. FPS guarantees ALSC-accredited compliance on every export-bound load with electronic certification delivered before load arrival.
Florida Pallet Supply delivers ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets with ALSC-accredited HT stamping to PortMiami same-day from our FL facilities. Each load includes electronic IPPC certification, BOL, and APHIS-compliant heat treatment records per 7 CFR 319.40. Book a quote at /contact for sub-2-hour FL response.
20 GMA 48x40 pallets straight-loaded (2 columns of 10) in a standard 40' container. JAXPORT is the primary FL gateway for Puerto Rico trade via Crowley and TOTE Maritime, primarily using 53' domestic intermodal containers (Jones Act trade) which fit 26 pallets - but international 40' containers from JAXPORT to LATAM still apply the 92" interior width constraint.
APHIS port-of-export inspectors at PortMiami, JAXPORT, Port Tampa Bay, and Port Everglades inspect outbound loads for compliant IPPC stamps on all solid wood packaging material - pallets, dunnage, crates, bracing. Non-compliant loads receive Form 7011 inspection notices, civil penalties up to $1,000 per unit, and may be held until compliant pallets are sourced. Most FL importing nations (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico) reject non-compliant US wood at destination, creating costly re-export.
Yes. PortMiami is within FPS's same-day FL delivery zone from our Miami-area facilities. We commonly run morning quotes for afternoon delivery to PortMiami terminals (Crowley, Sea Star, FIT, POMTOC, SFCT). Standing-order accounts get reserved capacity allocation for export-bound HT pallets year-round.
FL ports close ahead of major hurricane landfall (typically 24-48 hours pre-storm). PortMiami and Port Everglades coordinate closure with USCG Captain of the Port. Inbound containers re-route to JAXPORT, Savannah, Charleston, or Houston/New Orleans depending on storm track. Post-storm reopening usually within 48-96 hours for major ports. FPS maintains pre-storm buffer inventory at multiple FL facilities to mitigate single-port disruption.
Yes - any wood pallet entering the United States via FL ports (or any US port) from a non-US origin must carry IPPC ISPM-15 stamps. APHIS at PortMiami, JAXPORT, Tampa, and Everglades inspects inbound containers and rejects non-compliant wood packaging. Inbound from Canada is exempt; all other countries require IPPC stamps. Emergency reconditioning from FPS can replace non-compliant inbound pallets for FL importers same-day.
