Wildlife trade and conservation
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 regulates the commercial export of most wild harvested native plants and animals (including their products) from Australia. The Act bans the export for commercial purposes of live native birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
You will need apply for a wildlife trade export permit to export specimens derived from native species not included in the exempt list. More about wildlife trade permits
Commercial export permits can only be issued if the specimens are from an approved source. In the case of wild harvested native species the relevant approved sources are approved wildlife trade operations, approved wildlife trade management plans and accredited wildlife trade management plans.
