Importing to Western Australia

Western Australia (WA) remains relatively free of pests and diseases that adversely affect our agricultural industries and environment. This allows our primary producers easy access to worldwide markets.

The Department of Agriculture and Food, through Quarantine WA enforces strict biosecurity legislation, so please check for any restrictions that may apply before importing into the state. It may help to avoid goods being confiscated, a costly fine or even prosecution.

Refer to the below pages for further information on quarantine restrictions.
