Urgent amendment on nursery stock imports issued by MPI

10 September 2013

The IHS dated 6 September 2013, replaces the earlier version of the standard dated 22 May 2013. The import health standard is available to view on the following website:
http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/files/ihs/155-02-06.pdf 

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:
