When can timber packaging associated with containerised cargo be granted quarantine clearance based on a packing declaration?
If ALL timber packing in a consignment is marked with ISPM 15 compliant stamps, free of bark and no other quarantine concerns exist (e.g. the presence of straw, contamination etc.); OR b) If ALL timber packing in a consignment is covered by treatment certification acceptable to AQIS, free of bark and no other quarantine concerns exist (e.g. the presence of straw, contamination etc.). This option is applicable regardless of whether any timber packing in the consignment is marked with ISPM 15 compliant stamps. If a packing declaration or treatment certification is unacceptable to AQIS, importers are offered options to facilitate clearance such as treatment, re-export or destruction. All are conducted at the importer’s expense. Timber packaging eligible for quarantine clearance based on documentation alone will be subject to surveillance by AQIS to ensure compliance.
