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 following scientific names are not permitted import into Australian territory.

    2. Warnings and Information Notices
    Information

    If a plant is permitted at the species level then all subordinate taxa (e.g. varieties, subspecies, forms and subforms.) of that species are also permitted. Similarly, if a plant is permitted at a genus level, then all species are permitted etc.

    Where the parents of a hybrid are permitted the hybrid plant may be imported without a separate BICON case. Imported hybrids must be clearly labelled with their full parentage for identification by the department.

    If the species you wish to import is not listed but you believe it is a synonym of a permitted species please contact the Import Services Team for an assessment.

  2. The plant material/seed has been assessed as posing a weed 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.
