I phoned up the DPI the other day to see what restrictions there were in local content... And there's suprisingly only two that are prohibited - the 'H' ones that I can't recall the name of and a couple of species of opuntia, otherwise he said it was open slather for Qld. Other than the police restricted cacti - but those you need to check with the cops - I believe it is only the lophs that are prohibited.

Then... The CITES prohibited is the next level...

If you do find such a list I am sure we'll be keen to know.

Some are some aren't

You have to check at the AQIS site

http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/ex_querycontent.asp

Just put in the name ie:ariocarpus, scroll through for seeds for sowing and country and will bring up another bit that you click on and it will open what seeds are allowable imports.

It can be confusing. I have been trying to put in a thread on importing but copying and pasting keeps stuffing up grrrrrrrrr. I will try again later.

I did a search for Astrophytum and it brings up this

Species listing for Astrophytum spp.
See Table 1 for a list of species that are permitted entry .

Note: Any species not listed in these tables are prohibited entry into

Table 1: List of Permitted Species. These species may be imported subject to the conditions C7100, C7179, C7180, C5012.
Astrophytum asterias
Astrophytum capricorne
Astrophytum caput-medusae
Astrophytum coahuilense
Astrophytum myriostigma
Astrophytum myriostigma var. strongylogonum
Astrophytum ornatum
Astrophytum senile

I have had a quick read through conditions, is it easy getting o/s suppliers to comply with these?
hopefully suppliers have had enough practice with complying with oz customs.
