Importation of live garden snails (Cornu aspersum) for heliciculture: Final Biosecurity Import Risk Review

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has released the final Biosecurity Import Risk Review for the Importation of live garden snails (Cornu aspersum) for heliciculture. The report assesses the level of biosecurity risk associated with this species of garden snail. The report proposes that live garden snails may be permitted import into Australia, provided they comply with a range of species verification and biosecurity measures. These measures are supported by risk assessment, meet Australia's international rights and obligations, and are necessary to protect the health of Australian plants and animals.The report can be accessed at https: https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/policy/risk-analysis/animal/importation-of-live-garden-snails.
