2. A Quarantine Entry must be lodged for each consignment.

3. Timber packaging, pallets or dunnage in FCL containers will be subject to inspection and treatment on arrival, unless certified as having been treated by an AQIS approved method. (Refer to the AQIS publication, ‘Cargo Containers: Quarantine aspects and procedures’.)

4. Each consignment must be inspected for freedom from live insects, seeds, soil, plant, animal and food debris.

Importers are responsible for arranging either partial or full dismantling to allow access to all possible sites of contamination. Equipment will remain under quarantine until the quarantine officer is completely satisfied that all sites of possible contamination have been thoroughly examined.

6. If the equipment is found to be unclean on inspection, the equipment may be re-exported or directed to a metropolitan Quarantine Approved Premises for steam cleaning. Equipment that is heavily contaminated will be re-exported.
