Oversized tyres presentation and treatment guide

The following machinery cleaning guides and checklists have been developed to assist importers and offshore cleaners to meet Australia's import conditions (free of biosecurity risk material) as found in the Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON).

The guides and checklists provide a pictorial and written explanation to the many common areas in machinery where biosecurity risk material is found.
