Work program
Import market access work program 2012
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) undertakes risk analyses (including Import Risk Analyses and reviews of existing import policy) to identify any quarantine risks associated with imports of animals, plants or their products into Australia and recommends quarantine measures to manage those risks to an acceptably low level.
Import proposals
The tables below list key import proposals that DAFF has included on its work program for 2012. Other import proposals may be added during the year subject to resource availability. Issues may arise during the year that could affect DAFF’s capacity to progress some of these issues. More specific information about current import risk analyses, other risk assessments and reviews is available on the DAFF website.
