Import and Export Fumigation
Approved treatment for every kind of freight — from vehicles and machinery to foodstuffs, textiles and RoRo cargo — so trade keeps moving and biosecurity rules are met.
Fumigation that clears customs, not your schedule
Import and export fumigation is essential to smooth international trade and strict biosecurity compliance. Every container, pallet and shipment must meet Department of Agriculture requirements before it can move — and one missed treatment can mean costly delays, rejection at port, and flow-on disruption right through your supply chain.
TFS Fumigation is a Class 12.1 and 12.2 approved fumigator, licensed for all import and export cargo. Because different countries and different cargo carry their own specific requirements, our team confirms and applies the correct treatment for every shipment — so it is accepted on arrival, every time.
We handle a huge range of cargo, including cars, machinery, grain, textiles, wine, cement, electronics, glassware, pillows, medical equipment, RoRo shipments and more.

Seasonal pest alert: Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB)
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is a seasonal biosecurity threat that requires treatment for cargo from risk countries between 1 September and 30 April. It hides in vehicles, machinery, furniture and packaging, and poses a serious biosecurity risk if left untreated.
Khapra beetles and general hitchhiker insects are also major import concerns. Our team identifies the seasonal risks that apply to your cargo and applies the correct treatments to meet Australian entry requirements.
