Fish and crustaceans from aquaculture production

All biosecurity requirements must be met before Imported Food Inspection Scheme requirements apply.

Check our Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON) for biosecurity import conditions.

Food type

Fish species identified as those used in aquaculture production, fresh, chilled or frozen.

Crustaceans that are fresh, chilled or frozen, cooked or raw.

Note: Test applies to all crustaceans unless you provide a government certificate declaring ‘wild caught’, ‘not from farmed or aquaculture sources’ or similar that is specific to that consignment.

Exclusions

Food from New Zealand.

Inspection and testing

We refer consignments of certain fish species and crustaceans for antimicrobial residue testing at the rate of 5%. During inspection, we will also conduct a visual and label assessment.

Additional requirements apply to specific seafood. See the advice for:

• Crustaceans and crustacean products that are cooked and ready-to-eat
• Finfish that is ready-to-eat

Table 1 shows the antimicrobial residue test that will be applied and permitted results for the food type.
