One-liner		Eliminate inspection and Plant Protection Release Order requirements for walking sticks and similar wood articles import
Description		Walking sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and similar finished articles of wood are processed items that fall outside the scope of the Plant Quarantine Act 1976 and Rules 2019, so requiring inspection and a Plant Protection Release Order for them is an unnecessary regulatory burden.
Import Requirement		Importable subject to (i) Inspection and (ii) Plant Protection Release Order by DPP
Reason for Omission		Walking- sticks, seat- sticks, whips, riding- crops and the like, being processed items do not come under the purview of PQA 1976 and Rules 2019.
