At the Brisbane North Parcel Facility, our highly trained biosecurity officers are on the frontline—screening international parcels arriving by mail and air freight using advanced technology, detector dogs and expert judgement.
Their work helps stop harmful pests and diseases at the border, protecting Australia’s environment, agriculture and our way of life. As more people shop online or send goods from overseas, every parcel matters. That’s why all international parcels arriving in Australia are assessed for biosecurity risk, including items such as food, plant material (like seeds and succulents) and animal products.
Before sending or ordering goods from overseas, check what’s allowed and make sure items are declared accurately to avoid delays, extra costs or goods being seized.
