Default what to pack??

Hi,

We are moving to Brisbane in 2 weeks time, and have been told that customs is REALLY strict on wooden and wicker furniture, and that we should leave behind as much as possible!! A lot of our stuff falls into that category.....and while I dont mind my things being fumigated, I dont want it destroyed at my cost!!!

Any advice before the packers arrive????

Declare anything thats made of wood, but unless its untreated and comes from somewhere like Asia with a lot of pests, you should have no problem. The sort of wooden furniture and stuff you find in an English home should be fine
