Wooden EUR pallets (EPAL), block pallets, and stringer pallets are classified under 4415.20. This is one of the most practically important HS codes in international trade — virtually all palletised cargo is transported on wooden pallets of this heading. All wooden pallets used in international trade must comply with ISPM 15 (International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15), which requires heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation to prevent pest spread. Pallets without the ISPM 15 mark may be refused entry or destroyed at the border. Plastic pallets are 3923.90. Racking and shelving for pallets in warehouses is 9403.20 (metal storage furniture).
