Poppy straw can now be imported from all countries under the 'Papaver somniferum for processing' BICON case, subject to conditions.
The change has arisen following the publication of the Final report on the conditions (phytosanitary measures) for the importation of poppy (Papaver somniferum) straw and pellets from Hungary, Portugal and Turkey for processing.

Further information
Prior to the importation of goods into Australian territory, a valid import permit issued by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources is required.
