The Act regulates the importation of animals, animal products and biological products into Vanuatu. "Biological products" means any substance, chemical, organism or micro-organism having a biological effect on animals or their products, and includes drugs and other remedies, hormones, antibiotics, growth promotants, fungi, bacteria, viruses or parasites capable of causing any disease in animals. Importation or introduction of any animal, animal products, biological product or any related article into Vanuatu requires a permit. The Act specifies requirements regarding necessary importation documents. No person shall import into Vanuatu, any biological product, if it is prescribed by the Minister as a prohibited product. The Minister may, for purposes of preventing the introduction, make Orders prohibiting the landing of animals or any animal product, biological product, related article or of carcasses, fodder, litter, dung or other thing brought from any specified country.
