It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that the animal meets the importing country requirements. Additional information to assist exporters with how to prepare reproductive material for export is available on the Department’s website.

An import permit is required.

Information about the process required to import animals into Fiji from Australia can be found on the Ministry of Agriculture Biosecurity Authority of Fiji website.

As the importing country requirements may change without advice to the Department you should check the importing country’s documentation carefully at the time of preparation for export.
