a. cabin;

b. floor assembly,

c. engine bay;

d. lower areas;

e. bucket and push-arms;

f. main ram mount;

g. supports and stands;

h. skid steer attachments; and

i. tyres (new, old and spares).

25.3 All points are not specific to all skid steer’s.

Table 25–9: Cleaning Instructions for Tyres (New, Old and Spares)


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

2 Damaged tyres are to be inspected by AQIS, who will determine their suitability for return to Australia. 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 QRM 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 quarantine risk material.

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

8 AQIS 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 AQIS internet site (http://www.daff.gov.au/) ICON (Import Conditions Database) for the commodity “tyres”.
