We have been warned buy our shippers that wooden items maybe subject to quarantine inspection and charged for fumigation. Anyone have experience of this? We`ve (reluctantly) offloaded all wicker items bar Llyod Loom stuff..................Want to avoid customs duty etc if poss.

from personal experiances only i can say that they dont like wicker

we recieved an email from grace removals which stated

customs have found a small waste paper sized bin made of wicker in your container
you have the following options
please forward $120 for the required permit
( so you must be able to get this stuff through with the right paperwork ) plus cost for fumigation
( they didnt say how much this element may cost )
or give us your instructions to destroy it at no cost to yourselfs

well only one option to be honest in our case burn it

so i suggest that you get on the customs web site and ask them the question i am sure that you can take it al be it with the correct paperwork and possible fumigation

hope this helps
