OUTLINE OF REQUIREMENTS  
 
This import health standard outl ines the requ irements that must be met prior to shipment, in -
transit and on arrival in New Zealan d for fresh table gr apes imported from the Un ited States 
of America – State of California . 
 
This standard is replicated at the following Internet address:

NEW ZEALAND LEGISLAT IVE REQU IREMENTS AND 
INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS 
 
All New Zealand  import health standards are based upon risk analyses, which may assess 
either a commodity or a pest/pathway combination. New Zealand’s legislative requ irements 
and international obligations ar e taken into account when conducting risk a nalyses  and 
applying th e findings in the development of import health standards. The principal document 
for all New Zealand import health standards relating to plants and plant products is the Biosecurity Act 1993, whilst the international obligations derive principally from the guidelines on risk analysis d eveloped under the auspices of the Interim Commission on 
Phytosanitary Measures operating within the framework of the International Pla nt Protection 
Convention, and the World Trade Organi zation Agreement  on the Application of Sanitary 
and Phytosani tary Measures.  IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetable s. Vitis vin ifera from the Un ited States of America – State of

2 General conditions for the importation of all pla nts and  plant 
produc ts 
 
Plants and plant products are not permitted entry into New Zealand unless an import health standard has been issued in accordance with Section 2 4 (formerly s 2 2) of  the Biosecurity 
Act 1993. Should plants or plant products, for which no import healt h standard exists, be 
interc epted by MPI  Biosecurity New Zealand , the importer will b e offered the option of 
reshipment or destruction of the consignment (at their expense ). 
 The NPPO of the exporting country is requested to inform MPI  Biosecurity New Zealand  of 
any change of address . 
 The NPPO of the exporting country is required to infor m MPI  Biosecurity  New Zealand  of 
any newly recorded pests which may inf est/infect any commodity approved for export to

 Note: 
In order to meet the Environmental Protection  Authority’ s requir ements , the scientific name 
(i.e. genus and specie s) of the commodity must be included in the phytosan itary certificate.  
  
3 Explanation of pest categories 
 
MPI Biosecurity New Zealan d categorises pests associated with plants and plant products 
into regula ted and non- regulated pests. Measures to prevent the establishment of regulated 
pests in  New Zealand are developed in accordance  with the appropr iate FAO I SPMs and 
other relevant inte rnational standards.  
 Regulated pests are those pests for which actions w ould be undertaken if t hey were 
intercepted/detected. As well as quarantine pests, these  include new organisms as defined by 
the Hazardous  Substa nces and N ew Organisms Act 1996, pests  that may pose a risk to 
human or animal health or to the environment, ve ctors of associated quarantine pests, and 
virulent str ains (not present in New Zealand) of non- regulated pests and contaminants . Non -
regul ated pes ts are th ose pests for which actions would not be undertaken if they were 
intercepted/detected.  
 Pests (includ ing weeds) associated with each commodity will appear on a separate pest list, 
which will be attached  to each import health stan dard as an  Appendi x. 
  
4 Application of measures  
 
A num ber of different measures may be applied to pests based on the outcome of pest risk 
analyses.  Required measures may includ e: 
 - Surveillance for  pest freedom  
- Testi ng prior to export for regulated pests which cannot be r eadily det ected by 
inspection (e.g. vi ruses on propagating material)  
- Specific pre -shipment pest control activitie s to be undertaken by the supply IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetable s. Vitis vin ifera from the Un ited States of America – State of 
Californi a

(Bios ecurity Act 1993)     12 
 country’s contr acting party 
- The app lication of a pre-shipment t reatment 
- Inspection of the export consignment 
- Issuance of  a phytosanitary certificate  which attests to the phytosanitary status of a 
consignment 
- Treatment on a rrival in New Zealand  
 
 
5 General conditions for  fresh fruit/vegetables for consumption  
 
Only cl ean, inert /synthetic material may be used  for th e protecti on, packaging and shipping 
of fresh fruit/vegetables . 
 A completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country’s NPPO must accompany all  consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables exporte d to New Zealand.  
 MPI Biose curity New  Zealan d will ins pect all consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables to 
verify that New Zealand’s phytosanitary require ments have been met.  
 Where it has been determined th rough pest risk assessment that hi gh impact pe sts are 
associated with a particular commodity more spe cific phytosanitary measures  must be met. 
In most circumstances these phytosanitary measures will nee d to be met prior to arrival of 
the commodity in New Z ealand.  
  
6 Spec ific conditions f or table grapes  (commodity sub -class: fre sh 
fruit/v egetabl es) from the United States of America – State of 
California 
 
6.1 PRE -SHIPMENT REQUIREMENTS  
 
6.1.1 Inspection of the consignment  
 
MPI Biosecurity New Zealand  requires  that the United  States of America NPPO s ample and 
visually inspect the consignment accordi ng to offi cial procedures for all the r egulated pests 
specified by MPI  Biosecurity New Zealand  and ensure that it conforms with New Zealand’s 
current import r equirem ents. A phytosanitary certificate should not be issued if live regulated 
pest(s) are detect ed, unless the consignment is treate d in order to eliminate these. If pests are 
found which are not listed in the import health standard, the United States of  Americ a NPPO 
must establish their reg ulatory st atus. This information is available in MPI ’s “Official New 
Zealand Pest Register” https://pierpestregister .mpi.govt.nz/ . 
 If a pest is not listed in this registe r, the United St ates of America  NPPO must  contact MPI  IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetable s. Vitis vin ifera from the Un ited States of America – State of 
Californi a  
7 March  2023 
 
(Bios ecurity Act 1993)     13 
 Biosecurity New Zealand (see Section 1) to establish the regulatory status of  the pest.  
 
6.1.2 Testing of the consignment  
 
Testing of the consignment prior to export to New Zealand for regulated pests w hich are not 
visually detectable (viz. fungi and bacteria) is not generall y required for fr esh table grapes  
from the United State s of America - State of California . 
 
6.1.3 Phytosanitary measures for high im pact pests  
 
The strength of phytosanitary measur es will generally be greater for high impa ct pests than 
for other regulated pests, ref lecting  the great er risks associated with the se pest s. In most 
circumstances phytosanitary measures for high impact pests will need to be met prior to arrival of the comm odity in New Zealand, and phytosanitary certi fication will need to attest 
to this acco rdingly. 
 MPI Biosecurity New Zealand  and the United  States of America NPPO have agreed to the 
use of a pest free area as  a phytosanitary measure for the high impact frui t fly species 
associated with table grap es. 
 MPI Biosecurity New Zealand  requires the United St ates of America NPPO to undertake 
appropria te pest control activities for the other (non -fruit fly) high impact pests prior to the 
commodity arriving in New Zeal and. 
 
NOTE: “appropriate pest control activit ies” is a broad term that inclu des a rang e of 
phytosanitar y measures. Examples of thes e measures are pest free areas, physical exclusion 
(such as bagging of fruit), chemical treatments etc.  
 
6.1.4 Documen tation  
 Bilateral quarant ine arrangement /workplan:  Required  
 Table grapes may only be importe d into Ne w Zealan d from the United States of America 
(State of California) under the terms of the workplan.  Phyto sanitary certificate: Required.
