Regulatory information disclaimer

Last updated 27 August 2026.

In one paragraph

The regulatory guidance on this site is general information for UK exporters. It is not legal, customs or plant-health advice. Requirements depend on your route, commodity, classification and supply chain, and they change. Confirm the requirements for your shipment with the authoritative source, your forwarder or a qualified adviser.

Accuracy and currency

We base regulatory pages on primary sources and record a review date and reviewer on each. Sources are nonetheless amended, and guidance is republished at new addresses. A page that was accurate on its review date may not reflect a change made afterwards.

What this site is not

  • Not a certification body, and not a source of compliance certificates.
  • Not a customs agent, freight forwarder or plant-health authority.
  • Not a substitute for legal or professional advice.
  • Not a guarantee that any shipment will be accepted at any border.

Tools and reviews

The requirement checker gives a preliminary summary based only on the answers you give it. A photograph or document review describes what we can see and what it evidences. Neither constitutes certification, approval or clearance — see how we assess enquiries.

Two regimes, kept separate

ISPM15 is a plant-health standard for wood packaging. The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation is packaging law. This site treats them as distinct, and nothing here should be read as suggesting that evidence under one demonstrates conformity with the other.

Corrections

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, email help@exportpallets.co.uk with the page and the source. Our editorial and sources policy sets out how we review.
