Furniture & Timber Imports — Professional Customs & DAFF Clearance (Australia-Wide)
Importing timber products, wooden furniture, and composite wood items into Australia requires strict compliance with DAFF biosecurity standards. Timber is one of the highest-risk categories, and incorrect documentation or contamination can lead to:
-
Costly delays
-
Mandatory fumigation or heat treatment
-
Risk assessment for soil, organic material, timber, food and prohibited goods
-
Re-inspection fees
-
Long storage or unpack charges
-
Even re-export or destruction in serious cases
At Cusmode Customs Brokers, we specialize in the safe and accurate clearance of all timber and furniture imports, including complex consignments and mixed-material products.
We support importers from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Europe, New Zealand, USA, Japan, and every major manufacturing hub.
