Timber / Wood Packaging
Timber/wood may be imported in a highly processed state such as high quality furniture, picture frames, tool handles, composite wood material etc. or as sawn timber or wood packaging (including dunnage). The latter represent a significant risk for the introduction of quarantine pests if not properly treated.
How to find information on importing timber and timber products:
-
Identify the class of timber products your goods are included in.
-
Search ICON for the import conditions for that class of goods.
a) If ICON states that a permit is required, submit a permit application.
b) If ICON states that no permit is required, ensure all other conditions are met. -
To facilitate clearance ensure that all relevant paperwork (including permits and other documentation as required in ICON) is presented to the AQIS Regional office in the state or territory of import.
The importation of timber and timber products is co-ordinated by the Timber and Timber Products National Co-ordination Centre in the AQIS Victorian Regional Office. Any timber related enquiries should be directed to the Timber and Timber Products National Co-ordination Centre in the first instance at Timber Imports
