Dear Valued Customer,

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has finalised the seasonal measures for the 2023-24 high risk season. Effective sailing on or after the 1st September 2023, all target high risk cargo shipped from or via target risk countries must be treated by an approved treatment provider.

Full listing of countries and commodities are listed on the following pages.

Full details of the Import Health Standard can also be found here

The measures remain consistent with the 2022-23 BMSB risk season.

For the 2023-24 BMSB risk season, measures will apply to:

Targeted goods shipped from target risk countries, and/or

Vessels that berth at, load, or tranship from target risk countries

• The BMSB risk season is for goods that have been shipped between 1 September 2023 and arrive NZ before 30 April 2024 (inclusive), and vessels that berth, load or tranship from target risk countries within the same period. High Risk Goods (Vehicles, Machinery, and Parts Thereof / VMP) must be treated for BMSB if moving within these dates. New/Unused goods that have been stored exclusively indoors prior to export can be exempt from treatment requirements where a valid Manufacturer’s Declaration is provided. The template for this declaration is available here or on request from our BMSB team. 

• Italy: All cargo shipping from or via Italy must be treated; this is not limited to VMP only.

There is a list of sensitive risk goods that an MPI CTO considers to be sensitive to treatment included at the end of this presentation, these are the only commodities that may be imported from Italy without treatment. 

• We are currently working with our overseas offices and will publish our treatment methods and rates per origin in due course. 

• CBAFF is also hosting an industry online information session covering the upcoming BMSB seasonal measures on Thursday 17th August, if you are interested please register here
