Default Pine Beds?

Just a query about shipping pine beds to Oz.

I know all wood has to be treated to get through quarantine, so this got me thinking

Pine beds are normally varnished or treated, until you come to the wooden slats, and feet of the actual bed.

Has anyone successfully ships these without having to treat the whole bed?

any advise would be appreciated, thanks


P.s I also have a calved vase from Tunisia, made of wood....would this need to be treated also, and any idea what with?

Beds no problem, and I wouldn't even worry about the vase. When the packers come nothing is really individually labelled. It just gives a general idea of whats in the box. For example, a box labelled kitchen items had all my wooden pegs in. Now strictly speaking they shouldn't have come. A large conch shell from Trinidad came in a box labelled bathroom items.

The only thing they want to look at really is the hoover, any items that have been outside, bikes, lawn mowers, gardening stuff.

If your shipping agent is any good, then like ours they move these items to one side ready for Quarrentine. Usually, they turn up at the depot, look at your packing list and say, we want to look in boxes 25, 56 etc. If they are happy then thats it basically.

Ang we brough pine bed, 6 ft dresser and wood man and wood vase and big wood table and six chairs and two wood coffee tables and they didn't hick about anything but the snake skin behind a photo... .

We did leave the bbq, the bikes, the grass cutter, the rocking horse and one rocking chair (that pickfords seemed to think wouldn't pass) but think they make up what they will pass and not pass on the day.

Im guessing its the horses hair which may have been the problem, although I could be wrong!
