The IPPC stamp on some pallets refers to the International Plant Protection Convention. The IPPC is an agreement between nations to protect the health of plants and prevent the spread of pests.
Bromomethane is the pesticide that is used to make pallets IPPC-compliant.Specifically, the letters IPPC function as an acronym for International Plant Protection Convention. The IPPC requires that pallets shipped across national borders to be non-supportive of the spread of invasive insects and plant diseases. According to the IPPC's ISPM (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures) 15, an approved agency supervises chemical fumigation by methyl bromide, after which the stamp MB is applied. A greener treatment of raw wood turns to maintaining heating at 132.8ºF (56ºC+) for 30 minutes, after which the letters HT are stamped.

No point in asking the question until you have approval.
The abbreviation or acronym IPPC stands for a variety of things such as Industrial Promotion and Productivity Center as well as International Plant Protection Convention.
