Dear Australian customers,
We have been shipping Adenium Obesum seeds to Australia for years. And the recent orders of our customers have been destroyed by Biosecurity in Australia stating "Unidentified foods" "Non commercially packaged unidentified seeds" We enclosed the phytosanitary certificate and the invoice. Outside the package, we stated as below.
“This envelope contains () Adenium Obesum seeds.
An invoice, and a phytosanitary certificate are enclosed.”
Our seeds are examined by Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine in Taiwan. We put the seeds in a sealed envelope and we seal it again to conform the standards of packaging seeds of Australia. We already inquired with Biosecurity in Australia via e-mail. We have not got a reply yet and please contact them via phone what is necessary to import adenium seeds, what rule has changed recently before placing an order. We will not be liable for the import responsibility, costs and risk of destruction. If the seeds are detained, delayed, returned or destroyed by your local customs/Biosecurity, we will not be responsible for such damages. No refunds will be made for the orders placed after March 15, 2022 (Taiwan Time).
If you have any information or suggestions, please feel free contact us.
