The phytosanit ary certifi cate sh all contain all infor mation as d etailed in Int ernational 
Standard for Phyto sanita ry Measures,  Publication No. 12 (2011)  – Guidelines for 
Phytosanita ry Certificates . 
 
Hybrids between species can be imported but onl y when each species has a n approved 
country : commodity schedule in Appendix  1. The hybrid  must meet the schedule 
requi rement s for each s pecies in the hybrid.  
 
2.2 PRE-EXPORT PHYTOSANITARY ACT IONS  
 
Before a ph ytosanitary certificate i s to be iss ued, th e exporting country’s  national p lant 
protectio n organisat ion must be satisf ied th at the follo wing general activities, f or each 
consignment, have bee n undertaken.  
 
For risk group 1 (RG1) pests, e ither of the follow ing activities may apply:  
 
• inspected  in acc ordance with appropri ate officia l procedures a nd found to  be free 
of any vi sually  detectable regulated pests specified by MPI . 
 
OR 
 
• been sourced fr om a pest free area, as verified by an officia l detection survey,  for 
those regulated orga nisms speci fied by MPI for which there is no pract ical means 
of inspection or testing.  
 
AND  
 
For ri sk group 2 p ests (RG2), either of the following activities may appl y: 
 
• undergone appropriate pest control activit ies that are effect ive for those risk group 
2 quarantin e pests specified by MPI. 
 
OR 
 
• been sou rced from a pe st free are a, as verified by offici al detection  survey, for 
those risk gr oup 2 quarantine pests as spe cified by MPI. 
 
AND  
 
For risk group 3 pests (R G3), the following activity applies:  
 
• underg one an agre ed treat ment that is effecti ve against RG3 pests.  
 
2.3 MAXIMUM A LLOWABLE PREVALENC E (MAP ) 
 
The MAP for vi sually detectable regulated organisms on fresh  fruit/vegetables i s as follows:  
  
Ministry for Primar y Industries  Standard:  
152.02:  Importation and Cle arance of Fresh Fruit and Vegetable s into New Zealand                          24 June 2021  
 “At a 95% confidence level, n ot more than 0.5% of  the units in the consign ment are 
infested (this equat es to an acceptanc e level of zero units infe sted by regulated 
organisms i n a sample size of 600 units)”.  
 
2.4 PRE -EXPOR T LOT INSPECTION  
 
MPI requires that the ex porting cou ntry’s nationa l plant pro tection organisati on (NP PO) 
sample a nd visually inspect the co nsignment according to offici al procedures for all the 
regulated pests spec ified by MPI and en sure that it conforms wit h New Zeala nd’s cur rent 
import requirem ents.  A ph ytosanitary ce rtificate s hould not be issue d if live regulate d pest(s) 
are detected, un less the consignment is treat ed in order to eliminate these. If pests are f ound 
which are not listed in the specific co untry:commo dity imp ort health standard issued for that 
commodity , the NPPO must establish the ir reg ulatory stat us. This information is av ailable in 
MPI’s “Biosecurity  Organisms Register for Imported Commodities” 
http://archive.mpi.gov t.nz/applic ations/boric .  
 
 
If a pe st is not listed i n this  register, t he NPPO must contact MPI to establish the regulatory 
status of the pest.  
 
2.5 PRE -EXPORT LOT TESTING  
 
Testi ng of consi gnments prior to export to N ew Zealand,  for regulated  pests whic h are not 
visually  detec table, is no t (generally) required for  fresh fruit/vegetables.  
 
2.6 TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS  
 
2.6.1  Consignments transiting a nother coun try en r oute to New Zealand  
 
The NPPO m ust ensure tha t the consi gnment (prior to e xport)  is held in a manner to ensure 
that in festation/reinfestation does not occur following phytosanitary certificatio n. Appropriate 
procedures must also be in pl ace to ensu re that unauthorised product  cannot be substituted, o r 
added to,  cleared consignme nts. 
 
Packages mus t not be opened in transit .  Where a consignment is und er the direct control of 
the transiting countr y NPPO and is eithe r stored, split up or has  its packag ing chan ged while 
in that co untry (or c ountries) en r oute to New  Zealand, a “Re -export C ertificate” is required.  
 
Where a cons ignment is held under bond, a s a result of the need to change conveyances, and 
it is kept in t he original container, a “Re-export Certific ate” is not required . 
 
2.6.2  Consignments tra nsiting New  Zealand en route to ano ther country  
All consignments of fresh  fruit/vegetables landed in N ew Zealand en route to another country 
(transi ting) must be held and secured at the port o f arrival.  In addi tion, appropriate 
procedures mu st be implemen ted to ensu re that the integr ity of  the consign ment is maintained 
(e.g. u npackaged commodities or comm odities that are shipped in “open door” contai ners, 
must be immed iately pest proofed and/o r treated, to preve nt the accidental es cape of pes ts).

4.4 SAMPLING  
 
A sample shall* be taken from each lot as specified in the app ropriate sampling p lan detailed 
below. Sampl es may be t aken fro m any part of the lo t and shall  include a sel ection of 
cartons/packages fr om dif ferent areas  of the lot. To ensure a r epresentative sample is selec ted 
for inspection, consideration should be gi ven to selecting ca rtons from different grow er lines, 
different  pallets, different brands and different loca tions withi n the consignment.  
 
Wher e the produc e within a lot or consignm ent has the same scientific n ame (e.g. Brassica 
oleracea), but the produce differs in physical  characteristics (e.g. va rietal diff erences such as  
Ministry for Primar y Industries  Standard:

shall  be inspected (e.g. it is not permissible to stop at 60 0 units when a 950 sample was 
originally selec ted). 
 
If the impor ter has not nominated a s ample size,  “option  1” shall be used.

 Each indi vidual u nit within the sample sha ll be examined by an ins pector, along with the 
package in which they were contained, for the presence of pests, seeds, sig ns or symptoms of 
disease, soil or  any other non -conformity with this standard . 
 
4.6 PACKAGING  
 
Packaging ass ociated with fresh fruit /vegetables must be clean, free from soil and other 
contaminants.

Testing of  the consignment fo r regulated pests which are not visu ally det ectable, is not 
(genera lly) req uired for fresh fruit/veg etables.  
 
4.8 CONSIGNMEN T RECONCILIATION  
 
Three tiers of compliance check will b e used to valid ate phytosanitary c ertification details 
(e.g. number of  package s, consignment composit ion) aga inst the actual consignme nt. These 
are, for each importer:  
 
(i) A compliance check on every consignment for ten consecutive consignments;  
(ii) A random comp liance check on  one in ten consign ments; and  
(iii) A random compliance check  on one in twenty consignments.  
 
Initia lly, one complete complia nce check, selected rand omly, per ten consignments shall be 
carried out to validate phytosanitary certification details (e .g. number of p ackages, 
consignmen t composition) against the actual co nsignmen t. Where significant co mpliance  is 
demonstrated over tim e (ie. ten consecutive c ompliance checks validate conformance), the 
regime can be raised to one complete compliance check per twenty cons ignm ents. 
 
If a com pliance check identifies a non -confo rmance ( e.g. undeclared product ), the l evel of 
compliance check will drop a tier. For ex ample, if a one in twenty compliance check 
identifies a non -conformance, the level of compliance c heck for the of fending pathway wil l 
reduce to the one in ten complianc e check tier. Or, if a one in t en compl iance check identifies 
a non-conformance, the nex t ten consignments from the offending pathway shall be fully 
reconciled.  
 
Where the composition of  the consignmen t appears to includ e deliberately concealed product 
MPI (planti mports@ mpi.govt.nz) shou ld be no tified immediately.  
 
4.9 PRE AND POST -INSPECTION SECURITY

Phytosanitary inspection of Chilean grapes shall be aided by at least 10 X 
magnification or use of a Mag gi lamp (i.e. a 10 X magnifying glass lit by a 
flourescent tube  which is held up from the basal stage).  This inspection technique 
will assist in the detection of very small pests (e.g. Brevipalpus chilensis - false 
spider mite) that are often not visible to the naked e ye.

The schedule of special entry conditions for fresh Citrus  spp. from Egypt has been 
suspended dated 26 February 2018. This means that fresh Citrus  spp. fro m Egypt is not 
eligible for import into New Zealand.  
 
 
The MPI Chief Technical Officer  (CTO) believes that based on new technical information, 
the current treatment rates used for fruit flies, Bactrocera zonata  and Ceratitis capitata , no 
longer manage the  risk to an app ropriate level and, therefore, does not enable th e purposes of 
the Biose curity Act 1993 (Part 3) to be achieved.
