Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Changes to AQIS documentation requirements for the clearance of imported cargo
This notice is to advi that AQIS has recently undertaken a review of the documentary
requirements for the clearance of imported cargo. The purpo of the review was to clarify and simplify the 'rules' under which documents ud for the clearance of imported cargo
were either acceptable or unacceptable to AQIS.
Some of the changes having major impacts are:
Change to the treatment of Plywood and Veneer packaging
The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) has reviewed the acceptance of Newly Manufactured Plywood/ Veneer Certificates for Plywood and Veneer ud as packaging material in all imported shipments.
好久不见英文Currently Plywood and Veneer packaging requires a Newly Manufactured Plywood/ Veneer
Certificate, confirming that the packaging has not been pre ud, and is new. Further, the packaging must be shipped within 21 days of manufacture for plywood and veneer from Fiji, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vanuatu and Western Samoa and 3 months for Plywood and Veneer from all other countries to be relead without further intervention from AQIS.

as packaging material.
The following requirements will be introduced from the 1st of August 2009. All shipments entered on or after this day must meet the above new conditions where Plywood or Veneer packaging is ud.
Plywood and Veneer ud as packaging material will require to be treated with云图小说
an AQIS approved treatment prior to import or relea from Quarantine. It will no longer be acceptable to u a Newly Manufactured Plywood Products Certificate.
The ISPM 15 standards do not apply to Plywood and Veneer that has been ud as
packaging material (e.g. pallets and crates). And as such the packaging materials require to be tre
ated with an AQIS approved method / standard such as methyl bromide and supported by the appropriate certification / documentation. The Packing Declaration needs to be marked that timber packaging has been ud.
Failure to comply with the conditions will e consignments either ordered for an approved treatment, re-export or destruction.motorsport
Where a Packing Declaration indicates that the timber ud in an import shipment is marked as being ISPM 15 compliant but there is evidence that the packaging includes Plywood or Veneer, the shipment must be referred to AQIS for further asssm ent.
Methyl bromide fumigation certificates – plastic wrapping declaration
A plastic wrapping declaration is currently not a mandatory requirement on all methyl bromide fumigation certificates
As of 1st August 2009 all treatm ent certificates issued for the fumigations using methyl bromide must include a Plastic Wrap Declaration.
