    Yep.

    And pallets are constantly reused so your pallet may have been around the world a few times, treated several times and not all of those treatments may have been documented.

    But warehousemen are not dropping like flies, so I guess that any risk is relatively low. A good paint job should hide the problem.

    Default Thanks to all

    Thanks for all replies.
    Looks like it's OK if new and looks clean with no chemical used stamps.

    Few are treated as such -But many coming into the country possibly have the container fumigated - "probably" not a big issue - imported furniture will have this too probably? local pallets are either pine (untreated -disposable) or hardwood - better probably not seasoned and often split planks etc.
