Where can I obtain an example of an AQIS Packing Declaration?
Packers/suppliers of containerised cargo need to complete a Packing Declaration if an importer chooses to utilise the facilitated quarantine clearance system for timber packaging associated with containerised cargo. Examples of ISPM 15 FCL and LCL Packing Declarations (i.e. they cater for the use of timber packaging marked with ISPM 15 compliant stamps) are provided in Appendix VII of the AQIS publication ‘Cargo Containers: Quarantine aspects and procedures’. ISPM 15 Packing Declarations are only required if timber packaging used within a containerised consignment is marked with ISPM 15 compliant stamps and the importer elects for quarantine clearance of the packaging based on documentation alone.
