Importing Hoodia spp. into
Australia
The Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Heritage
(DEH) regulates the commercial trade of listed plants and
animals in Australia.
Hoodia spp. has been added to the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora (CITES) in an attempt to ensure trade in it
does not threaten its survival.
As such, an import permit is
required for the product to enter Australia, together with a
CITES export permit from the country of origin or
re-export. Import permits are issued through DEH
only. In order to commercially import Hoodia, the export
permit must state that it has been artificially propagated, or
sourced under an approved commercial import program
(CIP). Australian importers and re-exporters are required
to supply and keep records (import permits etc.) to verify
their goods were sourced legally.
