Editorial and sources policy

Sourcing

• Regulatory statements are based on primary material — the regulation text, the international standard, or official UK and EU guidance — not on trade-press summaries or competitor pages.
• Every regulatory page links to the sources it relies on, in full and accessibly.
• Where a source is a secondary industry body, we say so rather than dressing it as official.

Review

• Every regulatory page carries a “Last reviewed” date and a named reviewer role.
• Reviewer for this site: ExportPallets.co.uk editorial team, reviewed with Palletmove operations.
• Pages are revisited when the underlying source changes, and the review date is only updated when a review actually happens.

Language

Where the position depends on circumstances, we use qualified language — “generally”, “may”, “depending on the circumstances” — and tell you to confirm the requirements for your shipment. That is not hedging for its own sake. Export requirements genuinely depend on the route, the commodity, the classification and the supply chain, and a confident one-line answer would usually be a wrong one.

Claims we will not make

• That any pallet is certified, approved or guaranteed compliant for your shipment.
• That an ISPM15 mark demonstrates conformity with EU packaging legislation.
• That used pallets are banned from the EU.
• That every pallet requires an individual declaration of conformity.
• That a generic 1200 x 800 mm pallet is an EPAL pallet.
• That a photo review constitutes certification, customs clearance or legal approval.
• Any accreditation, statistic, testimonial, price, stock level, facility or delivery promise that has not been confirmed.
