Fumigation as part of quarantine and customs clearance
Quarantine authorities can order imported cargo to undergo further washing or treatment, such as fumigation, on arrival. A fumigation certificate is also one of the treatment certificates that can help imported goods avoid treatment and inspection on arrival. Because we also provide DAFF biosecurity washing, quarantine and biosecurity consultancy, SEA PREP and customs clearance, we can manage the whole process for you, from the wharf through to release and delivery. Our own DAFF washing and fumigation facilities are part of that service, and you can follow your shipment online in myCargo, our cloud-based shipping and tracking platform.Pricing
