@brightcolours I’m sending all my orders from “wish” to dept of agriculture and water resources. I assumed if ordered over net they must go through quarantine. But no. They mislabel as beads etc. I did contact Qld dept. they sent me to federal. They are aware of this problem and only have started on eBay. I suggested they put out a social media warning. I received a letter of interception yesterday coz it was labeled as grass seed. I’ll tag you
I imagine it’s a huge ongoing problem. They need a huge education and awareness program for buyers and sellers. Although I’m sure many of both know they’re breaking the law.
