Aquaculture programs

In order to export Australian native animal and plant specimens and/or CITES listed specimens for commercial purposes, the specimens must come from an approved program such as an approved aquaculture program.

Commercial trade in live native mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians is prohibited.

Exporters sourcing specimens from an approved program must also have export permit issued by the Department.
