Getting a used tent through AQIS?

How likely is it that the tent will get binned because it has a couple of blades of dried grass in it?

Obviously we can clean it as much as we can, but I don't think I can realistically get it sterile.

Our lawnmower cost us $150 to have cleaned and fumigated I think.

We have never had to have anything cleaned before, it depends on who you get dealing with your stuff which is ridiculous.

we brought all our camping stuff inc a 6 man and two man tent. none of our camping stuff got opened. so i guess it is luck to be honest with you. all they opened in our container was our shoes and christmas decs

Brought in all manner of outdoor equipment. Bikes, tent, golf clubs, etc. Not a problem. Brought in ski boots 15 years ago and they got cleaned. As long as there's no visible dirt you should be fine
