Tomato potato psyllid interstate quarantine requirements

Correct as at 10 April 2026

Entry restrictions may be applied to plants and plants products from Victoria going into other states and territories. These restrictions may vary depending on whether the plants and plant products are a ‘host’ of tomato potato psyllid (TPP) or a ‘carrier’ of TPP.

TPP host plants include plants from the Solanaceae, such as potato, tomato, capsicum, eggplant, chilli, and tamarillo, and from the Convolvulaceae, such as sweet potato and bindweed.

TPP carrier nursery stock includes any plant or planting material with green plant material attached (e.g. potted plants, rootstock or cuttings), excluding Solanaceae and Convolvulaceae plants.

Seeds, tubers, bulbs and dormant nursery stock without green material attached are exempt.

Non-hosts fruits and vegetables without green material attached such as no leaves, calyx or petals present, are exempt.

Tables 1 to 7 provide more detailed information on produce types and available market access requirements. Industry is encouraged to check these tables regularly as Agriculture Victoria develops new arrangements, updates those already in place, or other jurisdictions change their entry requirements.

How to use the tables

Determine whether your product is a carrier or host of TPP by consulting Tables 1 and 2.
If you have carrier produce, use Table 3 to see which arrangements are available to you based on the state or territory you are trading into.
If you have host produce go to Table 4. It indicates arrangements and requirements for host plants and produce per state.
In Table 5, the arrangement requirements are outlined and you can choose which will best suit your business.
You can also check the relevant jurisdiction’s import requirement information
Please email the relevant Agriculture Victoria Plant Biosecurity regionto request an Application for Accreditation form and a copy of the required procedure or procedures.

Note that plant classifications differ between jurisdictions, with the largest differences observed for Queensland.
