What the stamp should show
The mark is a bordered box with the IPPC symbol on the left. To its right: EE, a hyphen, the code Knowledge and Development Service Centre gave the producer or treatment provider, and the treatment code. Producer code formats differ by country, so check the shape of the code against other marks from Estonia rather than against a fixed pattern.
IPPC | EE-[producer code] | HT (layout only; the producer code is a placeholder)
Who authorises the mark in Estonia
The IPPC country page for Estonia lists the official contact point as Knowledge and Development Service Centre, registered on 14 Oct 2009. That body, or the agency it delegates to, registers treatment providers and producers and polices use of the mark. Open the IPPC page for Estonia for current contact details.

On arrival in the US or Canada
Wood packaging from Estonia entering the United States is regulated under 7 CFR 319.40-3; entering Canada, under CFIA directive D-98-08. Both rely on the ISPM 15 treatment and mark. Once the goods are unpacked, surplus pallets from Estonia are yours to reuse, sell or recycle, unless they belong to a rental pool.
