Risk Background
Biosecurity risks for moccasins
Effective 14 July 2015 to 20 November 2018Moccasins are often imported from New Zealand because shearers use the sheep skin footwear while shearing. The moccasins accumulate sheep oil, dirt, seeds, faeces and diseases and are hence a high biosecurity risk.
Moccasins can also be made of other skins such as deer which the American Indians may use as footwear.
