Australia's Department of Agriculture (DOT) is expanding the range of cost-recovered import measures that support Australia’s biosecurity system. These changes follow consideration of the report of the Biosecurity Imports Levy Industry Steering Committee. The committee supported increasing the breadth of activities the department can cost recover through fees and charges.

The government has agreed that revised biosecurity charges will be in place by January 1, 2020. These changes are necessary to help manage the risk of pest and disease incursions posed by goods and vessels entering Australia. They are also designed to address rising costs and an expected doubling of cargo volumes by 2030.

Revised cost recovery fees and charges are as follows:
Full Import Declaration charge—air was $33, will be increased to $38.
Full Import Declaration charge—sea was $42, will be increased to $49.
Vessels greater than or equal to 25 meters—arrival charge was $920, will be increased to $1054.
Vessels less than 25 meters—arrival charge was $100, will be increased to $120.
