BICON houses the Australian Government's Biosecurity import conditions database for more than 20,000 plants, animals, minerals and biological products. It will help you to determine what import conditions exist and if an import permit is required. Please refer to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Importing to Australia page for more information about BICON.
Search for the commodity you want to import. You can also search for your import by scientific name or tariff code. Refer to the BICON Help page for tips on searching.
The department is conducting I.T. infrastructure maintenance from 16:00 to 23:59 Sunday 26 March 2023 (AEDT).
BICON users may experience several intermittent outages during this planned maintenance period.
The BICON website will be updated with a new look and feel in April. The changes are aimed at improving your experience when using BICON.
The changes include:
The functionality of the BICON website won’t be changing and you will still be able to review import conditions and apply for import permits as you normally would. There will also be no changes to how you access your BICON account.
Further information, including a preview of the new BICON website will be available on the department’s website and BICON homepage in March.
