1 Removal of grass and debris may be achieved by use of a petrol
powered blower/vacuum in the first instance, use of water should be
avoided
2 Heavily soiled camouflage nets may require further scrubbing and a dip
in an approved detergent/ disinfectant (one in 20 solution). This has
been achieved in the past by using trailers with required additive
3 Depending on the degree of contamination and diligence in the
cleaning process, camouflage nets may require three or more trailer
dips to achieve the required AQIS clearance
4 Drying is to be achieved by hanging the camouflage net so that it does
not come into contact with the ground
5 Nets are to be inspected to ensure that all plant material is removed

Serial Comments or Tasks
Time (hours)
1 All tyres are to be washed and scrubbed to remove all QRM.
2 Damaged tyres are to be inspected by AQIS, who will determine their
suitability for return to Australia. If necessary, damaged tyres (for
example, perished, cracked or split) are to be removed and dispo s ed of
in accordance with the tyre disposal policy;
3 Cracked tyres have the risk of containing QRM therefore perished tyres
are to be subject to disposal.
4 All tyres are to be treated with an approved residual insecticide
after cleaning
5 Fitted tyres that are damaged should be replaced with new tyres.
6 Used and fitted tyres on rims are to be individually verified that the tyres
are on rims, inflated with beading sealed and that the tyres are clean,
free of water and other quarantine risk material.
Technical
7 Tyres that are not fitted to rims are to be stored in such a
manner that water cannot collect inside the tyre. The preferred AQIS
solution is that tyres are stored within containers. Tyres not fitted on
rims will require fumigation on return to Australia.
8 AQIS considers a Non-Commercial consignment of tyres to contain a
maximum of 8 tyres (inclusive of the wheels on the vehicle) and be
imported with an accompanying vehicle. If tyres are to be transported
back to Australia in containers or crates, please refer to the AQIS
internet site (
http://www.daff.gov.au/) ICON (Import Conditions
Database) for the commodity “tyres”.
