Charging guidelines 2023

The Departmental Charging Guidelines - Version 6.1 (Released July 2023)

The Departmental Charging Guidelines (the guidelines) supplement the Cost recovery implementation statements (CRISs).

They provide instruction on the application of the department’s biosecurity and export certification fees and charges applicable to biosecurity, live animal export, plant export and food export programs for both industry and public.

The guidelines provide detail on how we apply fees and levies to our biosecurity and export certification activities. This includes:

  • legislative basis
  • administrative arrangements
  • collection arrangements
  • exemptions

The scenarios provided are indicative examples only and are not inclusive of all costs. Actual time taken for activities, additional fees and other charges applied by commercial entities may differ in some circumstances.
