The schedule of special entry conditions for Actinidia nursery stock has been suspended. This means that Actinidia nursery stock is not eligible for import into New Zealand.
MPI is undertaking an Import Risk Analysis and review of the import requirements for Actinidia nursery stock. The schedule of special entry conditions for Actinidia nursery stock will be reinstated at such time as the MPI Chief Technical Officer believes on reasonable grounds that the reviewed import health standard will enable the purposes the Biosecurity Act 1993 (Part 3) to be achieved.
Questions related to this suspended schedule should be directed to:
