never heard of it for a cricket bat before but I work in exports and any wood products into Australia need the wood treated in advance of sending to show it's free from bugs or any diseases, it's been a regulation for a long time.
this normally means any packing for the product has a forestry stamp on it to prove it's been fumigated.

there may be an alternative treatment for an actual cricket bat but it's a pretty strict regulation......

might be wrong but it Seems to me that your bat has been quarantined and they are going to treat it with a fungicide ( Methli Bromide ?) and maybe issue you a fumigation certificate

Who was it shipped with?
DHL always try to scew you for a quarantine fee (which you can just refuse to pay and they won't pursue it).
Have never had an issue with any of the other carriers.

Vic surely the service I would get from the Asian market is far superior that what you'd give me?
