Quarantine requirements
Finding out about quarantine regulations is a must when importing goods. If the goods are subject to quarantine regulations, you need to apply for an importing permit and allow time for quarantine.
If you import plant, animal, mineral or human products, Australian Quarantine & Inspection Service (AQIS) will need to inspect and/or treat your products for pests or diseases.
Find out about quarantine conditions by searching ICON, the AQIS import conditions database. ICON has information about Australian import conditions for more than 20 000 foreign plant, animal, mineral and human commodities.
