3    EXPLANATION OF PEST CATEGORIES  
 
The N ew Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries  has categorised organisms associated with 
plants and plant  products into regulated and non -regulated organisms as described below.  
Organisms (includi ng weeds) associated with each commodity will appear on a separ ate pest list 
which will be attached to each import health standard as an Appendix.  Weeds may be in the form 
of seeds or other plant parts.  
 
3.1    REGULATED ORGANISMS  
 
Regulated organisms are  those organisms for which phytosanitary actions would be under taken if 
they were i ntercepted/detected.  These will include new organisms as defined by the Hazardou s 
Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.  Regulated organisms are sub -divided into the 
follo wing groups:  
 
3.1.1    Quarantine: Risk group 1 pests  
 
Risk gro up 1 pests are those  regulated pests (FAO Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms, 1996) which 
on introductio n into New Zealand could cause unacceptable economic impacts on the production 
of a commodit y/commodities and/or the environment.  
 
3.1.2    Quarantine: Ris k group 2 pests  
 
Risk group 2 pests are those regulated pests which on introduction into New Zealand could cause 
a major disruption to market access (some importing countries require specific p re-export 
phytosanitary treatments) and/or significant economic  impacts on the prod uction of a particular 
commodity/commodities and/or the environment.  
 
3.1.3    Qu arantine: Risk group 3 pests  
  
Risk group 3 pests (e.g. economically significant species of fruit flies) are those regulated pests 
which on entry into New Zealand would cause a major disruption to market access for a wide 
range of New Zealand commodities a nd/or have significant economic impacts on their production 
and/or the environment (some imp orting countries prohibit the entry of the host commodity).  An  
official surveillan ce system is required for such pests in New Zealand.

(Biosecu rity Act 1993)   ISSUED: [date]  Page 3 of 17 
 3.1.4    Regulated non -quar antine pests  
 
A regulated non -quarantine pest (denoted by "reg." on the pest list) is a pest  whose presence in a 
consignment of plants for planting, affect s the intended use of those plants with an economically 
unacceptable impact and is therefore regulate d within the territory of the importing contracting 
party (Revised IPPC definition, Rome 199 7).  These pests would be under official control by the 
use of a Government operat ed or audited certification scheme.  
 
3.1.5    Regulated non plant pests  
 
Regulated  non plant pests are those organisms which, although not pests of plants or plant 
products, may be associated with plants or plant products in internationa l trade, and may ha ve an 
affect on human or animal health ( e.g. black widow spider) and thus fall und er the jurisdiction of 
other New Zealand government departments.  The categorisation of thes e organisms and their 
associated import restrictions will be ap plied in accordance  with the requirements of the relevant 
departments.  
 
3.1.6    Vectors of associate d quarantine pests  
 
In the context of this import health standard, vectors are those organis ms which are able to 
transmit regulated pests into New Zealand.   To prevent the tr ansmission of vectored quarantine 
organisms to susceptible commodities in New Zeal and, it is necessary to prevent the entry of their 
vectors.  Vectors (denoted by "vect." on the pest list) will be categorised as risk group 1 even if 
they are present in New  Zealand, unless they are risk group 2 pests in their own right.  If the 
vectored organism is not present in the exporting country then the associated vector(s), if present 
in New Zealand, will be categorised as a non -regulated non -quara ntine pest(s).  
 
3.1.7    Vectored organisms  
 
Vectored organisms (denoted by "VO" on the pest list) ar e those regulated pests that are able to 
enter New Zealand via a vector associated with the imported commodity.  
 
3.1.8    Strains of pests  
 
Where there is documented evidence  that a pest associated with the imported commodity has a 
different host range, di fferent pesticide resistance, vectors a different range of organisms, or is 
more virulent th an that of the same species present in New Zealand, then the di fferent strain 
(denoted by "strain" on the pest list) of that pest will be categorised accordingly as  a risk group 1 
or 2 regulated pest.  
 
3.1.9    Unidentifiable organisms  
 
Should identificati on of an organism not be possible within the required time fram e, the organism 
will be categorised as a regulated pest (either risk groups 1, 2, or 3) until such ti me as shown 
otherwise.  
 
3.1.10    Unlisted organisms  
 
Should an organism be intercepted that  is not included on the pest list for that commodity, it will 
be categorised into the appropriate risk group and action taken accordingly.

(Biosecu rity Act 1993)   ISSUED: [date]  Page 4 of 17 
 3.2    NON -REGULATED OR GANISMS  
 
Non-regulated organisms are those organisms for which phytosanitary actions would n ot be 
undertaken if they were intercepted/detected.  These woul d include new organ isms which could 
not establish in New Zealand.  Non -regulated organisms are sub -divided into the following 
groups:  
 
3.2.1    Non -regulated non -quarantine pests  
 
Non-regulate d non -quarantine pests are either already present in New Zealan d and are not under  
official control or, could not establish in New Zealand.  
 
3.2.2    Non -regulated non plant pests  
 
Non-regulated non plant pests are not pests of plants and are not of concer n to the Ministry for 
Primary Industries  or any other New Zeala nd government depar tment.  
 
3.3    CONTAMINANTS (INCLUDING SOIL)  
    
Consignments contaminated with s oil, or other potential carriers of regulated pests ( e.g. leaf 
litter) will not be permitted  entry if the level of contamination is above the acceptable to lerance.  
 
4    APPL ICATION OF PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES  
 
A number of different phytosanitary measures ma y be applied to pests in each risk group, 
depending on the commodity and the type of pest.  These measures include:  
 
4.1    QUARANTINE: RISK GROUP 1 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary meas ures required for risk group 1 pests may include:  
 
- inspection and phytosanitary certification of the consignment according to appropriate 
procedures by the national plant p rotection organisation of the exporting country,  
- testing prio r to export for reg ulated pests which cannot be readily detected by inspection 
(e.g. viruses on propa gating material from accredited facilities), and verified by an 
additional declaration, to t hat given on the phytosanitary certificate,  
-  inspection/testi ng of the consignme nt by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary 
Industries  prior to biosecurity clearan ce, to ensure the specified pest tolerance has not 
been exceeded.  
 
4.2    QUARANTINE: RISK G ROUP 2 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures required for risk group 2 pests may include a ll the requirements for risk 
group 1 pests and may also require pre -export pest co ntrol activities to be undertaken by the 
contracting party, and confirmed by additional decl arations to the phytosanitary certificate.  
  
IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetables.  Cucumber, Cucumis sativus from Australia   
(Biosecu rity Act 1993)   ISSUED: [date]  Page 5 of 17 
 4.3    QUARANTINE:  RISK GROUP 3 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures  applied to risk group 3 pests may include all the require ments for risk 
group 1 pests plus:  
 
- the application of a pre -export treatment which has be en developed in accordance with 
an approved New Zealand Ministr y for Primary Indus tries standard,  
- an official bilateral quarantine arrangement between the New Zea land Ministry for 
Primary Industries  and the Australia national plant protection organisatio n which 
includes descriptions of each approved treatment system (s), 
- specific add itional declarations on the phytosanitary certificate.  
 
4.4    REGULATED NON -QUARA NTINE PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures applied to regulated non -quarantine pests will generally  be the same as 
for risk group 1 pests, or according to the con tingencies implemen ted for that pest if detected in 
New Zealand.  
 
4.5    NON -REGULATED NON -QUARANTINE  PESTS  
 
No phytosanitary measures are applied to non -regulated non -quarantine pests.  
 
5    G ENERAL CONDITIONS FOR FRESH FRUIT/VEGETABLES  
 
Commodity sub -class: fresh fruit/ve getables includes fresh fruit and vegetables for consumption.  
 
Only inert /syntheti c material may be used for the protection, packaging and shipping materials of 
fresh fruit/v egetables . 
 
All host material (fruit/vegetables) of fruit fly s pecies (Diptera: Te phritidae) of economic 
significance shall only be imported under the terms of a bi lateral quarantine arrangement (e.g.
