Think before you pack: Australia’s customs and biosecurity rules explained
About this episode
This episode explains Australia's customs and biosecurity rules and the importance of adhering to them.
Customs is generally the first point of contact for people entering Australia. Our Border Force Officers are there waiting. They ensure that we don’t bring in prohibited goods that could threaten Australia’s unique environment, economy and communities. Before you zip up your suitcase, here’s what you need to know about what can—and can’t—cross the border, and what’s at stake if biosecurity rules are ignored.
