We got every thing we brought through quarantine, and we had a lot of timber and woven things, just make sure you tap/bang any wood or woven things and make sure no dust or BUGS! come out, as that what they do, also no little holes. I also bought some of those baskets for food with the fly netting attached and I swear the Quarantine lady wanted them, she banged and banged them.
One of my clients works for quarantine at Sydney airport, and she was so funny when I showed her the stuff I had bought, saying she was going to take things off me as they should not have let it through, note it was all things she loved! All joking aside she said a bracelet I had should not of been let through, as it was made of seeds, she also said you would be amazed at how many bugs come out of some baskets.
We have always been careful with what we buy and have never had any thing taken off us.
