Navigating Australian customs?
Australia has strict rules when it comes to bringing goods into the country, to safeguard its natural environment. Here’s what you need to know when you’re packing.
If you're moving to Australia, you may be able to bring in these specific items, however you’ll need to ensure they meet certain biosecurity regulations.
- Wood items (must be treated or certified pest-free, no soil or insect activity)
- Pet items (must be clean and free of animal waste)
- Used household goods
- Sporting and recreational gear (must be clean and dry, free of organic materials or soil residue)
- Craft materials and natural decorations (avoid untreated plant material)
It's vital to know that certain items are strictly banned or heavily regulated. Failing to adhere to regulations could lead to serious consequences.
- Paint, solvents, chemicals, gas bottle and fuel
- Weapons, firearms, or ammunition and fireworks
- Counterfeit goods and pirated content
- Fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs or dairy
- Soil, plants, seeds, untreated wood
- Animal products (e.g. feathers, furs, skins, shells)
