Before you import goods, you need to find out if your goods fall under quarantine regulations. If you import plant, animal, mineral or human products, the Australian Quarantine & Inspection Service (AQIS) will need to inspect and/or treat your products for pests or diseases.

Find out about quarantine conditions by searching ICON, the AQIS import conditions database. ICON has information about Australian import conditions for more than 20 000 foreign plant, animal, mineral and human commodities.

If your goods fall under quarantine regulations you need to apply for an import permit.
