If you are importing products of a biological origin, anything in a sea container or any used machinery or personal effects you will need to deal with the Cook Islands Biosecurity Service and ensure that you are not committing an offence.

Firstly, you will need to check the product you wish to import against the Import Specification List and the Prohibited Items list to see what steps you might need to take for import. If the product is of biological origin (animal or plant products) but is not on the list you will need to contact the Director of Biosecurity for a risk analysis.
