Import & Export Services
International plant trade facilitation with full phytosanitary compliance. Moving plant material into and out of Australia safely and legally.
International plant trade
Moving plants across international borders requires compliance with biosecurity regulations in both origin and destination countries. Australia has strict quarantine requirements to protect its unique environment and agricultural industries from exotic pests and diseases.
We assist with importing plant material into Australia and exporting Australian plants internationally. Our experience with tissue culture gives us insight into the regulatory pathways that apply to in vitro material, which often face simpler quarantine requirements than conventional plants.
Whether you're bringing in new varieties or sending Australian germplasm overseas, we can help navigate the regulatory requirements and documentation.
