Export Crates ISPM15
When goods are shipped overseas, the crate itself becomes part of the compliance process.
Export Crates & ISPM15 Wooden Crates
Export packaging must meet the requirements of the destination country, and in many cases that means using ISPM15 wooden crates.
Trafalgar Cases manufactures export crates for UK businesses shipping valuable, specialist or non-standard items overseas. We combine practical crate design with a clear understanding of export compliance, helping to reduce the risk of delays, rejections or costly issues at the border.

Why export crates need to meet ISPM15 requirements
ISPM15 is an international standard that regulates the use of solid wood packaging in global trade. Its purpose is simple – to prevent the spread of pests and diseases through untreated timber.
For exporters, this means that wooden crates used in overseas shipments are often inspected as part of the customs process. Where packaging does not meet ISPM15 requirements, shipments can be delayed, rejected or even destroyed.
Many businesses know they need an ISPM15 crate, but are not always clear on why. This page exists to bridge that gap – providing reassurance that your export crate is suitable, compliant and properly specified.

Trafalgar Cases supplies ISPM15 crates that meet the required standards for international shipping.
ISPM15 wooden crates, handled properly
We ensure that:
- Export crates are manufactured using compliant timber
- ISPM15 marking is applied correctly
- Compliance is considered early, not treated as a last-minute add-on
This removes uncertainty for exporters and avoids avoidable issues later in the shipping process.
You do not need to become an expert in ISPM15 regulations. Our role is to make sure the crate itself is not the weak link in your export chain.

Not all export crates are standard.
When a bespoke export crate is required
Items that are oversized, unusually shaped, heavy or fragile often require a bespoke wooden crate, even when ISPM15 compliance is also needed. In these cases, the crate must be designed specifically around the item, while still meeting export regulations.
If your shipment does not suit a standard export crate, our team can design a custom solution that balances protection, handling and compliance.
You may find it helpful to also view our
Custom Wooden Crates page for more complex or non-standard requirements.

Wooden crates for shipping overseas
Some exporters are looking for a broader shipping solution rather than a crate focused purely on compliance.
Where this is the case, our Wooden Crates for Shipping page provides a wider overview of crate options for overseas transport, including size ranges and general shipping considerations.
This export page focuses specifically on ISPM15 and compliance – both pages work together depending on your needs.
