Reminder to industry about sawn timber treatments
MPI do not allow untreated sawn timber to be fumigated with Methyl Bromide on arrival prior to inspection unless mandated in the Import Health Standard – ie consignments from Fiji, Solomon Islands or Papua New Guinea. Any requests to fumigate sawn timber from other countries before it is inspected will be declined.
MPI will direct the consignment for the appropriate treatment post inspection should quarantine pests be detected.
