📝 Important Notes
- •Beef jerky can be brought into Australia only if all conditions are met. Declare it on arrival.
- •It must be commercially made and packaged, shelf stable, in its original sealed and unopened packaging, for your own consumption, and no more than 1 kg. The label must identify a manufacturing country approved by Australia as free from foot-and-mouth disease. The country where you bought it is not necessarily the manufacturing country.
- •Check the current approved-country conditions in BICON before packing. Homemade, opened or unlabelled jerky does not meet these personal-import conditions. Pork jerky is not permitted under this pathway. A biosecurity officer may inspect the product; declaration does not guarantee admission. Non-compliant jerky will be destroyed.
