Australia's strict biosecurity rules
Australia is very careful about what comes into the country, to protect its farms and wildlife. Food, plants and seeds, wooden items and animal products get extra checks, and some are not allowed in at all.
If your parcel has any of these, it must be declared clearly, with a proper description of what each item is and what it is made from. A word like “gift” is not enough. Items that don’t meet the rules can be held, treated or refused.
Pack in new, clean boxes, not ones that held fruit, vegetables or meat. If you are not sure about an item, ask us before you pack.
