    If you look at our custom regulations I'm sure they will be tougher so pass our custom regs and you should be alright. I think the general rule is no bark and no holes.
    Another thought would be to ring our customs and ask them what the regulation are for sending timber into Germany.

    Good luck
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    All timber exported to anywhere overseas, including Germany has to go through fumigation, or are we just talking pen blanks or finished timber products.?

    No problems a few pen blanks clean wood.
    Just wrap them up in some hand towel inside a jiffy postage bag.
    And put pen blanks gift.

    I have a German acquaintance that comes to Australia for six months every year. He is a retired biologist. He has taken many pieces of timber, seeds and cuttings to propagate in Germany, legally. In fact he went back only last week. Taking stuff out of Australia is not a problem, provided it is legal. Custom regulations are designed to protect Australia from bugs we don't have here.
