Importing Oversized tyres into Australia? Import conditions have just changed!

February 21, 2025

Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) have announced changes to importing new and aged/used oversize tyres. These changes to shipping oversized tyres into Australia came into affect on the 1st of February 2025 and include any tyres shipper on or after the 1st. 

These updates have been introduced to address the continued detection of biosecurity risk material during oversize tyre inspections.

The changes listed by DAFF include making the use of S-methoprene briquettes a mandatory requirement for all oversized tyres arriving in Australia from ALL countries and to change the definition of ‘new’ tyres.
