MPI Plant Biosecurity Index

You can enter the scientific name for the seed, in this case Cosmos bipinnatus, or do a text search. You can also search using other options. For example, choose ‘basic’ from this menu and hit search and it will bring up a list of all seeds that are allowed and fall under the ‘basic’ criteria. Once you search, the database brings up its import specification. This is where it will say ‘entry prohibited’ if it’s not allowed in. In this case it’s ‘basic’ which means it is. There are separate instructions if you are bringing it in for a nursery.
