Biosecurity rules for shipping taxidermy from UK

Hello, I'm moving from the UK to Australia and shipping over some personal items via sea freight. I have a taxidermy bird in an enclosed glass/wood case. I have checked and it's not on the CITES protected species list so doesn't require a permit.

I have packaged it up well in a separate box and included the invoice from the antique auction it was bought from which includes a description and images.

As long as I declare it will I face any problems with biosecurity? I'm worried about being fined or it being destroyed. However, it's not clear what other steps I need to take, if any, when shipping it over. Thanks.

Shipping personal belongings UK to Australia

I'm moving to Australia from the UK and looking to ship over about 4-5 boxes of personal items. Looking for shipping/removal company recommendations. I've been considering PSS international removals but have read a lot of negative reviews so am a bit concerned and looking for other options. Thanks.

Shipping to Australia

Hello I am emigrating from the UK to Australia and planning to ship over my items. I have a taxidermy bird which is enclosed in a glass display case from an antiques auction with the accompanying invoice and description. The species is not on the CITES list. What documentation do I need to provide or are there any steps I must take to ensure it is allowed into the country?
