Welcome to BICON

BICON houses Australia’s biosecurity import conditions and food safety requirements for more than 20,000 plants, animals, minerals and biological products. It will help you determine what biosecurity import conditions and food safety requirements exist. Refer to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Importing to Australia page for more information.

Search

Before importation you must search and review:

  • the biosecurity import conditions to determine if your item can be imported into Australia and whether an import permit case is required.

If the import item is food for human consumption intended for sale, you must also search:

  • the food safety requirements to understand whether the food you want to import is subject to inspection, including labelling inspection, sampling and testing, or requires certification.

Refer to the BICON Help page for tips on searching.
