2 All ropes and universal dispatch straps are to be extended to their full length and wiped or washed clean of all soil, plant and insect matter.

Attention to attachment points and fixtures and tension devices is required.

Personnel are to inspect and remove all twigs, foliage, and so on that has become embedded in the rope fibres.

3 Velcro panels and seams (where fitted) are to be brushed and washed to ensure all seed, plant and soil material is removed.

4 Canvas bags are to be turned inside out and checked for burrs, seeds and insects.

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 DA 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.

6 Camouflage poles are to be brushed or swept clean; and metal joiners are to be removed cleaned and inspected.

Table 11–6: Cleaning Instructions for Tyres (New, Old and Spares)


1 All tyres are to be washed and scrubbed to remove all BRM.

2 Damaged tyres are to be inspected and their suitability for return to Australia determined. If necessary, damaged tyres (for example, perished, cracked or split) are to be removed and disposed of in accordance with the tyre disposal policy.

3 Cracked tyres have the risk of containing BRM 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 BRM.

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 DA solution is that tyres are stored within containers. Tyres not fitted on rims will require fumigation on return to Australia.

8 DA 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 DA BICON (Biosecurity Import Conditions system) internet site (http://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/online-services/bicon) for the commodity “tyres”.
