The UK is rushing to stockpile the pallets it needs to export to the EU from January

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The UK is rushing to get enough of the correct pallets for exporting to the EU from January.

The timber packaging industry says the coronavirus outbreak forced companies to put stockpiling efforts on hold for several months, and now it is urging Boris Johnson's UK government and European Union to agree on an adjustment period lasting at least half a year so it has more time to build sufficient stocks of ISPM 15-compliant pallets.

John Dye, president of the Timber Packaging & Pallet Confederation, warned that the January 1 deadline would probably come too soon for the industry and that it needed an adjustment period of six to eight months to become fully compliant with ISPM 15 rules. A recent industry survey found that 76% of respondents felt confident of being ready to meet ISPM 15 requirements on January 1.

Industry figures say ministers have been slow in grasping the scale of the challenge posed by a new pallet regime. They say they don't have enough space to store two different types of pallets and fear that accidentally sending wrong pallets to the EU will be a common occurrence, leading to goods being stopped by EU border officers.
