Genetically modified seed is prohibited.
Non-GMO requirements:
If certification is required (refer to import permit/NPPO notification), the exporter is responsible for ensuring that the consignment is accompanied by a Certificate as to Condition attesting that the seed has not been genetically modified.
If requested, a Certificate as to Condition (Grain - GX46/Horticulture - HX46) can be issued for the consignment that is specifically supported from information supplied by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) and where it is a government requirement of the importing country for non-GMO certification (refer to import permit/NPPO Notification).
The following text must be added to the additional declaration field when a GX46/HX46 template is added to the RFP:
The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator has advised the department that there has been no intentional release into the Australian environment of genetically modified product(s) listed on this certificate.
Note: Non-GMO certification cannot be issued for any seed species which has GM varieties approved for commercial production in Australia. Please contact the Grain and Seed Exports Program Grain.Export@aff.gov.au for further advice.
