Amendments to the table of highly processed wooden articles

The table of highly processed wooden articles has been amended as follows:

• The item previously listed as ‘craft related items…’ has been changed to include ‘craft related items… including items in manufactured articles’.
  

• The item previously listed as ‘kitchen items including… and boards for the preparation or service of food…’ has been changed to ‘kitchen items including… and boards or stands for the preparation or service of food…’
  

• Punctuation has been changed for consistency.
  

Who does this notice affect:
Importers of timber and timber products and Assessment Services Group.

Background:
These changes mean that these goods are considered to have an acceptable level of biosecurity risk and that importers will now only need to provide require evidence that the product being imported is a highly processed wooden article. This evidence must be presented on a manufacturer's declaration, commercial invoice or supplier declaration.
