Import Conditions

Import conditions define the biosecurity requirements which must be met for your import. Where import conditions have been developed, they will be listed below.

  1. The plant material/seed has been assessed as posing a serious disease risk and is not permitted entry into Australian territory. Any material imported into Australian territory must be either exported or disposed of at the importer's expense.

    2. Information

    For importers who are interested in pursuing a further evaluation, please contact the Client Contact Group Canberra. Please note, this is not an option for plant material which has landed in Australian territory.

  2. There are three seed transmitted viruses of Colocasia spp. of quarantine concern to Australian territory.

    They are Colocasia bobone disease (rhabdovirus) (CBDV), dasheen bacilliform (badnavirus) (CBV) and dasheen mosaic (potyvirus) (DsMV).
