Quarantine rules for the import of heavy equipment differ from country to country. For instance, Singapore has absolutely no quarantine regulations and the USA allows for steam cleaning at any non-approved washpad. On the flipside, Australia has the strictest quarantine laws in the world, followed by New Zealand.
Imported equipment and parts are considered a high risk to a country’s environment and agricultural industries through flora and fauna. Quarantine bodies inspect cargo rigorously and in many countries have the power to impound contaminated equipment and demand additional cleaning.
Skelton Sherborne has field-based quarantine consultants located across the globe ready to inspect and clean your machinery before it’s shipped, no matter where it is located. As well as organising your paperwork, our quarantine consultants travel the world to perform pre-shipment cleanliness inspections. This helps give you peace of mind that when your cargo arrives, most of the quarantine issues have already been dealt with.
