What happens if you fail to declare your products?
If caught, you could face civil penalties and possibly be prosecuted, fined over $420,000, and imprisoned for up to 10 years. Compliance with the 2015 Biosecurity Act can mitigate penalties if all goods are declared, even those not permitted into Australia.
