Wooden crates require a fumigation/disinfection certificate.
wood packaging of goods entering the country must be accompanied by inspection and quarantine authorities issued a certificate certifying that wood packaging entering the country before the heat-treated, fumigated or treated with preservatives, or the exporter issued without proof of wood packaging.
Wooden models would be exempt from that requirement. However if the models are large
you may be stopped for inspection and should have the proper paperwork to clear customs
including HS code such as:
902300 - Instruments, apparatus and models, designed for demonstrational purposes [for example, in education or exhibitions], unsuitable for other uses
