Electronics wooden pallets are built to the tighter standards that FDI electronics plants in Vietnam (Samsung, LG, Foxconn, Intel, Canon) require: a smooth surface free of splinters, burrs or protruding nails to protect semiconductor parts and PCBs, wood moisture below 15% to keep sensitive components safe, and no loose wood fragments that could fall into automated lines. ICD Vietnam has produced pallets to these specifications for 15 years and ships nationwide.

Vietnam's electronics sector exports over USD 100 billion a year and is the country's largest export industry. Wooden pallets are a mandatory packaging input, with each electronics plant consuming tens of thousands of pallets annually. FDI plant requirements are usually stricter than general standards and are spelled out in the supplier specification sheet.
For electronics supply chain managers: why moisture below 15% matters
For electronics supply chain managers (SCM), wood moisture is not just a spec, it is a mandatory requirement tied to product safety. High-moisture wood releases water vapor inside a sealed container, raising the internal relative humidity. Electronic components (PCBs, ICs, BGAs) are extremely moisture-sensitive, and exposure above 60% RH for a few hours can oxidize IC leads and cause solder defects. Pallets with moisture below 15% sharply reduce the vapor released in a container. This requirement often appears in IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033, the standard for moisture-sensitive component packaging that FDI plants apply.
For FDI plant procurement: the pallet supplier approval process
For procurement teams at FDI electronics plants, a pallet supplier typically passes a supplier approval process that includes: (1) a facility audit of quality control procedures; (2) a third-party wood moisture content test report; and (3) product samples for in-plant evaluation (PPAP - Production Part Approval Process in some cases). ICD Vietnam has completed supplier approval with several FDI plants and can provide full technical documentation on request. Explore our full pallet product range for related sizes.

- Displays and finished devices: TVs, laptops and phones after final packing
- Electronics export: finished equipment shipped to the US, Japan and EU with ISPM-15
- Inter-plant transfer: moving semi-finished goods between plants in the same supply chain
Applications
- Samsung, LG, Foxconn, Canon
- Semiconductors and microchips
- Home appliances and computers
- Electronics export to the US, Japan, Korea
Frequently asked questions
Does ICD Vietnam provide a wood moisture test report?
Yes. ICD Vietnam provides moisture content measurement per shipment using dedicated meters. For orders that need third-party certification, ICD can connect you with an ISO 17025-accredited testing lab to issue an official report. Turnaround for a test report is 2-3 working days.
Are electronics pallets more expensive than standard pallets?
Yes, around 15-25% higher because of the special surface treatment (sanding, recessed-nail checks) and tighter moisture control. Even so, the cost of a specialized pallet is far smaller than the damage cost when electronic components fail due to an out-of-spec pallet. Many buyers also pair these with ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets for export. Request a quote based on your plant specification.
