Travelling with plants

There are restrictions on moving these into and within South Australia:

  • fruit
  • fruiting vegetables
  • plants
  • plant related products.

If caught with restricted fruit or fruiting vegetables at the Yamba Quarantine Station you will be fined. A zero tolerance approach is also in place at random quarantine roadblock operations in South Australia.


Into South Australia

Travelers must be aware of quarantine restrictions before they move plant or plant material across state borders.

Before crossing into South Australia with plants or plant material, check:


Within South Australia

Fruit and vegetables that are at risk from fruit fly cannot travel with you into the Riverland.

You will be fined if you are caught travelling into the Riverland with restricted fruit and vegetables.

See Travelling into the Riverland from within South Australia for more information.


Out of South Australia

We are unable to give advice about the entry requirements of other states.

Travellers and producers should check the Australian Interstate Quarantine website for more information.


International arrivals to Australia

When you arrive in Australia you must declare if you are carrying certain food, plant material or animal products. See Can you bring it in? on the Australian Border Force website for information.
