The method
For each container we take the lower of the inside height and the door height, divide by the pallet's height, round down, and multiply by the number of floor positions with handling clearance. Then we multiply by the pallet's published weight and compare with the container's guideline payload. The methodology page shows every step.
Before you ship
- Marks. Each pallet crossing a border needs a legible ISPM 15 mark. Repaired pallets with unmarked new wood are a risk.
- Pooled pallets. Do not ship someone else's pooled pallets as your own.
- Grade. If the receiver applies the EPAL classification, ship what they agreed to receive.
- Securing. Tall stacks of empties shift. Strap or block them.
Is it worth it?
That depends on freight rates and what your European partner credits you per pallet, which we cannot know. Compare it with selling locally using the sell form.
