An importer may apply for departmental approval for a biosecurity inspection to occur at a non-Approved Arrangement (AA) site. This may be due to the type, size or complexity of the goods being imported.
The importer must complete the ‘Request for biosecurity inspection at non-AA site’ form and email it to the regional Biosecurity office in the state/territory that the cargo is requested to be inspected. Providing this information to the department as early as possible will help to facilitate assessment and booking processes.
Applications for non-AA site inspections will be managed on a case-by-case basis by the Biosecurity office and an application does not guarantee a non AA inspection will be approved for this activity.
For further information on the process or completing the form please contact the relevant regional Biosecurity office.
