thombatt Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 seeriously?! i can't even ship my FAKE Christmas tree Fake xmas trees are fine. Pine Cones are not. Typically they get packed together, so xmas decorations are almost always checked by customs. Plants you can be 99.99% sure are not fine, unless they have been treated and their roots enclosed in some gel type substance. Even then there will be issues and checks. I'm not sure how you plan to keep your plants alive while they are in a container, unless you were planning on hand luggage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petals Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Aus sniffer dogs are very very good at detecting food stuff, plants, etc. No plants or seeds allowed, there is a customs information brochure that you can access to get all the correct information. Just to add we are not allowed to take fruit to certain parts of Victoria from Melbourne, grape vines, elm trees all sorts of rigid rules regarding plants in Aus.
