Travel restrictions for fruit and vegetables in SA

South Australia has rules on which fruit, vegetables, plants, and plant products can be brought into the state and the Riverland Pest Free Area (PFA). These measures are important to prevent fruit fly from spreading, and there is a zero-tolerance policy in place.

You must eat the restricted items or dispose of them in the quarantine bins that are clearly signed across SA at road entry points, airports, and rail terminals.

When travelling, your vehicle will be checked for non-permitted produce at:

• quarantine stations located on highways at key entry points into the state
• random roadblocks located after quarantine bins across the state.

You'll be fined if you're caught with restricted fruit, vegetables, plants, or plant products at the Yamba quarantine station, or at random roadblocks. You can't use a receipt to bring produce that is at risk from fruit fly.
