Before you book — Australian compliance
Biosecurity & quarantine — Western Australia
All used agricultural, mining and earthmoving machinery entering Western Australia is inspected for soil, seeds and plant material. It must be cleaned to quarantine standard before arrival — unwashed machinery can be held and charged commercial cleaning rates, or refused entry. Inspections happen at the Eucla and Kununurra road checkpoints. Always confirm current requirements with DPIRD / Quarantine WA before booking.

A move to or from WA travels outside NHVR jurisdiction, so oversize or overmass loads need permits from Main Roads WA — not NHVR Go. Very wide loads (over ~5.5 m) may also require a WA Traffic Escort Warden, which can add roughly $1,000–$2,500 per day to a quote. Confirm requirements with Main Roads WA before booking.
