Entry Requirements for Commercial Consignments

Plant material including fruit, vegetables, flowers, plants, soil and seeds may carry pests and diseases. Among other things fruit flies, melon thrips and phylloxera pose a major threat to the economy of South Australia.
The various Australian State Quarantine Inspection Services have identified procedures by which plant material may move from one State to another without spreading such pests and diseases.

Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA) have strict regulations and requirements regarding the entry of fresh fruit, vegetables and plant material into the State of South Australia.

Fruit, vegetables and plant material are not permitted to enter South Australia unless accompanied by a Plant Health Certificate or Plant Health Assurance Certificate certifying that the produce is free of disease or has been appropriately treated.

If produce is imported into South Australia and the Certificates outlined do not accompany it there is an onus upon any person in possession of that produce to notify a PIRSA Plant Health Inspector. Contact can be made with Plant Health Operations through the 24hour hotline number 1300 666 010

These procedures are recognised and expressed in detail in the Plant Quarantine Standard.

The Quarantine Domestic Freecall telephone number 1800 084 881 can be used throughout Australia for information regarding the import requirements for the various States.
