Australia Mulls Quarantine Fees Increase

Australia's Department of Agriculture is undertaking a review of five biosecurity cost recovered arrangements which will result in some fee adjustments commencing July 1, 2014, GAC said in its daily Hot Port News report.

The short term review is necessary to return the department's cost recovery arrangements to a sustainable footing and to ensure continued compliance with the government's guidelines. Arrangements currently under review include the Seaports Program.
