Important Notes for Shipping Wooden Furniture to Australia
Australia places significant importance on agriculture and forestry, and thus maintains stringent regulations to prevent the introduction of plant pests and diseases. Importing wooden furniture into Australia is subject to rigorous controls. Importers are required to have their furniture cleaned and fumigated by qualified personnel at the point of export and must obtain a certificate signed by both the exporter and the cleaning personnel. This certificate should detail the cleaning and fumigation processes and confirm that these procedures have been completed.
Adhering to these requirements helps prevent customs delays or rejections upon arrival in Australia and avoids additional costs such as customs inspection fees, storage fees, and handling fees.
If necessary, we can arrange for the fumigation of wooden products in Hong Kong. For more information, please contact Transworld's international relocation specialist.
