What would they want with it out of interest ?!!?!?

Oz quarantine (AQIS) is very strict on anything organic in origin entering the country. We are free of a lot of exotic diseases (as a farmer I'm happy about this!) and they intend to keep it that way. I looked into importing a diesel engine and was told that wooden pallets were very difficult to clean and were frowned upon by AQIS. Second hand information I know, but I can believe it.

Any wood sent from countries with bse or foot and mouth has to be burned at the docks coming into Oz. Expensive and inconvenient if your engine is on it!
