Default Will Australian Customs allow the import of a few small samples of sand from Southern Utah ???

I've emailed customs and quarantine to ask them, but goodness knows when they will get back to me. Does anyone have any idea if this small import would be legal or not please ???

i think only if your samples have been quarantined by the australian customs for about a month - i think. because they quarantine almost anything.

don't think its a good idea to bring into any overseas countryany customs will probably take it customs are pretty strict,, especially Australian Customs these days but I would agree with the first answer , they will take it and Quarantine the sand

You can't bring in sand/soil (if you've been near farms lately they will even check the bottom of your shoes). They're very serious about keeping foreign bugs/diseases out.
