Pacific exporters seeking to expand into the Australian market will have the opportunity to gain practical guidance on Australia’s biosecurity and import requirements during a free webinar hosted by Pacific Trade Invest Australia in partnership with the Australian Government’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.
The webinar, Export to Australia: Biosecurity and Market Access Essentials for Pacific Exporters, will provide exporters with practical information on Australia’s biosecurity system and the steps required to ensure agricultural products meet import requirements before they are shipped to Australia.
The session will explain Australia’s import processes, demonstrate how exporters can use the Australian Government’s Biosecurity Import Conditions (BICON) system to identify import requirements, and outline the most common reasons consignments are delayed or rejected at the border. Participants will also learn about the support available through PTI Australia, DAFF and the Pacific Biosecurity Partnership.
The webinar is designed for exporters, agribusinesses, producer organisations, customs brokers, freight forwarders and trade support agencies across the Pacific involved in exporting agricultural products to Australia.
PTI Australia Trade Commissioner Tim Martin says, “This webinar brings Pacific exporters together with the experts who administer Australia’s biosecurity system. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, understand the process and gain practical insights that can help businesses access the Australian market with greater confidence.”
PTI Australia has brought together technical experts from DAFF to help Pacific businesses better understand Australia’s regulatory requirements, providing authoritative guidance that can help exporters avoid unnecessary costs and delays, and better navigate access to the one of the region’s most important export markets.
“At PTI Australia, our role is to make exporting easier by connecting Pacific businesses with the right information, networks and opportunities. Working alongside DAFF on this webinar is another example of that commitment to helping Pacific exporters succeed,” Martin adds.
Australia remains a key destination for many Pacific agricultural exports. A clear understanding of biosecurity requirements is essential for exporters looking to expand their market opportunities while ensuring compliance with Australia’s strict import standards.
The webinar will be held online via Zoom from 10.00 am AEST. Participation is free, but registration is necessary.
