Import and export

The APVMA may authorise the importation of unregistered and unapproved agricultural and veterinary chemicals where necessary.

Australian exporters of agricultural and veterinary chemical products and active constituents may be required to obtain a certificate of export from the APVMA before other countries will accept the importation of these products.
