Importation of live garden snails (Cornu aspersum) for heliciculture: Draft Biosecurity Import Risk Review |
| Summary |
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has released the draft Biosecurity Import Risk Review for the Importation of live garden snails (Cornu aspersum) for heliciculture, for comment.
The draft report assesses the risk of pathogenic agents associated with this species of garden snail.
The draft report proposes that live garden snails can be permitted import into Australia, provided they comply with a range of biosecurity measures, including post-arrival quarantine. These measures are supported by risk assessments, meet Australia's international rights and obligations, and are necessary to protect the health of Australian plants and animals.
The draft report can be accessed at https://haveyoursay.agriculture.gov.au.
Trading partners are invited to provide comments on the draft report until 7 October 2024 (60-day comment period).
The department will carefully consider all comments while preparing the final report.
