| Description | To obtain an import license, importers are required to submit the completed application form and attach a certificate of origin. The application form requires the address and contact details of the exporter and importer, and the country of origin. For each item the applicant is required to list the country of origin, the common product name, the scientific names, a description of the items, and the quantity or volume to be imported. In all cases the importer must provide details on the routing, transport mode, and expected date of arrival. The importer is required to specify if they have access to a registered Quarantine Approved Premise (QAP). When the importer (or the clearing agent) has submitted the completed applications form, the Department of Quarantine will contact their counterpart in the exporting country to request verification. Each import requires a separate permit and must complete the full verification process. The Quarantine Import Permit has to be signed by the Director of Quarantine. The DNQB estimates that the procedure for obtaining an import permit takes 3 days. |
