PERSONAL EFFECTS - SUPPLEMENTARY DECLARATION
TO BE COMPLETED BY THE IMPORTER ONLY
You must complete an Unaccompanied Personal Baggage Declaration (not this document) for all consignments.
This supplementary declaration is not mandatory; however the information on it will assist inspectors in deciding the biosecurity status
of your goods. Non-completion may result in an inspection (at your cost) that may have been otherwise avoided; or inspection at a
facility that may be inconvenient to you.
If more space is required to answer the questions please attach your own page to this declaration.
If prohibited or contaminated items are found they may be treated, reshipped, or destroyed at your cost.
