Permit details for NT customers

Due to NT Fisheries restrictions, all customers ordering any Aquatic life need to have approval from fisheries before we are able to send your order.

The Permit is free, it is a fairly simple and easy process, please see details below.

You will need this permit if you intend to import live, exotic, non-indigenous fish or aquatic life into the Northern Territory.

This permit is usually attached to an Aquaculture, Aquarium Fishing / Display and Aquarium Trader licence but individuals intending to order and bring in any exotic, non-indigenous fish into the NT must also obtain this permit.
