  2. All consignments of mistletoe will be inspected to verify dryness, freedom of seeds and other biosecurity risk material.

  3. The department will release the goods once all of the import requirements have been met.

  4. Under the Biosecurity Charges Imposition (General) Regulation 2016 and Chapter 9, Part 2 of the Biosecurity Regulation 2016, fees are payable to the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment for all services.
