Wouldn't this be a quarantine issue? I'd love to bring some tulip bulbs from Holland, but I don't think I'd get away with that at all.
ReplyDeleteI was able to bring these back as they are dried. Also, I declared them to customs (as with everything I bring back), the customs guy had a look at them, checked out the species in some database, and OKed them.
ReplyDeleteI checked the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Agency Website, and it says tulip bulbs and similar materials and not allowed into Australia :(

BUT: Some of these items are allowed into Australia if accompanied by an import permit and/or are treated by Quarantine (which will cost you money). Talk to Quarantine prior to departure about obtaining an import permit.
