• To help protect Australia’s unique environment from unwanted pests and diseases, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry regulates products imported into Australia. The importation of some products is, by law, subject to certain bio-security import conditions.
• Some products are not permitted entry while other products are only allowed into Australia subject to meeting import conditions that mitigate the bio-security risk. This may include a requirement for an import permit.
