Do you wish to bring alcohol, tobacco products, currency, prescription medicines, weapons or samples for commercial/business use?
You can use the department's Biosecurity Import Conditions System (BICON) to assist in answering your query. You will need to know the name of the item you wish to import, the country you are bringing/mailing it from and how the item will be used. You can also check Arriving in Australia for further information.
If you have looked at the Biosecurity Import Conditions System (BICON) and still have a question, please submit an inquiry.
Due to the many inquiries the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources receives, a response to the inquiry you are about to submit may take up to 10 days.
