Conditional entry of hay from lower-risk areas of WA
SA has reviewed its import conditions relating to hay imports from Western Australia (WA) to bring them more into line with those that are applied by New South Wales and Victoria.
Effective immediately, conditional entry of hay from lower-risk areas of WA see linked map () is permitted on a case-by-case basis. Approval for entry is subject to the following conditions:
- Each consignment must be accompanied by a Plant Health Import Certificate (PHIC) and a Biosecurity Declaration that clearly identifies the origin of the hay.
- All consignments must be sealed / covered during transport to prevent spillage.
- A detailed manifest must be submitted to PIRSA prior to arrival, in accordance with existing procedures.
- PHIC applications can be made by applying online here or emailing PIRSA.PlantHealth@sa.gov.au
- Upon arrival in SA, consignments will be inspected by either a business registered with PIRSA or PIRSA Biosecurity Officers.
