2. Ventilation holes of cartons covered - cartons (packages) with ventilation holes must have the holes covered/sealed with a mesh/screen of no more than 1.6 mm pore size and not less than 0.16 mm strand thickness. Alternatively, the vent holes could be taped over.
3. Polythene liners - vented cartons (packages) with sealed polythene liners/bags within are acceptable (folded polythene bags are acceptable).

Meshed or shrink wrapped pallets or Unit Loading Devices (ULDs) - ULDs transporting cartons with open ventilation holes/gaps, or palletised cartons with ventilation holes/gaps must be fully covered or wrapped with polythene/plastic/foil sheet or mesh/screen of no more than 1.6 mm diameter pore size.
5. Produce transported in fully enclosed containers - cartons (packages) with holes as loose boxes or on pallets may be transported in fully enclosed containers. Enclosed containers include six-sided container with solid sides, or ULDS with tarpaulin sides that have no holes or gaps. The container must be transported to the inspection point intact.
