New Australian Packing Declaration Requirements

Effective July 1, 2018, the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) is revising the requirements for packing declarations as they pertain to timber/bamboo. Bamboo packaging IS acceptable provided that it is treated by an approved method prior to export or on arrival. It does not need to be declared as ‘unacceptable packaging.’

EMO Trans Australia requests that everyone please update their records for Australian-bound sea cargo to include these requirements. Please refer to these packing forms.
