'All animals entering Australia must have an import permit, and have undergone relevant testing and health checks signed off by a government veterinarian from the exporting country to ensure pests and diseases from overseas are not brought here,' she said in a statement on Wednesday.

The saga fuelled international headlines when federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce demanded the two pups leave the country or be put down.

 Mr Joyce said told Sky News on Wednesday night he was 'pleased' the law has caught up with Johnny Depp's wife Amber Heard. 

'I'm always pleased with the legal process - we are all equal before the law,' Mr Joyce said. 

In May, Mr Joyce said it was time that Pistol and Boo 'buggered off back to the United States' as he gave them a 50-hour deadline to leave.

The minister said he didn't care if Depp had been voted the 'sexiest man alive', he still had to adhere to quarantine rules.

Mr Joyce was subsequently criticised for his handling of the case and labelled a 'wanker' by radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands.

Pistol and Boo, oblivious to the canine conundrum they had created, were kept in a Gold Coast mansion belonging to motorcycle racing legend Mick Doohan.

An investigation was launched into whether Depp or his pilot should be prosecuted for failing to declare the dogs.
