 OUTLINE OF REQUIREMENTS  
 
This import health standard outlines the requirements that must be met prior to shipment, in -
transit and on arrival in New Zealand for fres h table grapes  imported from the People’s 
Republi c of China  for human consumption . 
 
This standard is replicated at the following Internet address:  
 
https://www.mpi.govt.nz/importing/food/fresh -fruit-and-vegeta bles/requirements/  
 
Generic requirements for the importation of all fresh fruit and vegetables into New Zealand 
are described in MPI Standard 152.02: Importation and Clearance of Fresh Fruit and 
Vegetables into New Zealand . 
  
NEW ZEALAND LEGISLATIVE REQUI REMENTS AND 
INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS  
 
All New Zealand import health standards are based upon risk analyses, which may assess 
either a commodity or a pest and pathway combination. New Zealand’s legislative 
requirements and international obligations are tak en into account when conducting risk 
analyses and applying the findings in the developme nt 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), w hilst the international obligations derive principally 
from the guidelines on risk analysis developed under the auspices of the Interim Commission 
on Phytosanitary Measures operating within the framework of the International Plant 
Protection Convention, an d the World Trade Organisation Agreement on the Application of 
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

2 General conditions for the importation of all plants and plant 
products  
 
Plants and plant products are not permitted entry into New Zealand unless an import health 
standard has been issued in accordance with Section 2 4A of the Biosecurity Act 1993. 
Should plants or plant products, for which no import health standard exists, be intercepted by 
MPI, the importer will be offered the option of reshipment or destruction of the consignment 
(at the  importer’s  expense).  
 
The NPPO of the exporting country is required to inform MPI of any newly recorded pests 
which may infest/infect any commodity approved for export to New  Zealand.  
 
 
3 Explanation of pest categories  
 
MPI categorises pests associated with p lants and plant products into regu lated and non -
regulated pests. Measures to prevent the establishment of regulated pests in New Zealand are 
developed in accordance with the appropriate International Standards for Phytosanitary 
Measures and other relevant international standards.  
 
Regulated pests are those pests for which actions would be undertaken if t hey were 
intercepted or detected.  As well as quarantine pests  these include pests that may pose a risk 
to human or animal health or to the environment, vec tors of associated quarantine pests, and 
virulent strains (not present in New Zealand) of non -regulated pests and contaminants . Non- 
IHS Fresh Fruit/Veget ables. Vitis vinifera from the People’s Republic of China   
 xx June 2020  
 
(Biosecurity Act 1993)     10 
 regulated pests are those pests for which actions would not be unde rtaken if they were 
intercepted or detected.  
 
 
4 General conditions for fresh fruit/vegetables for consumption  
 
Only clean and  inert or synthetic material may be used for the protection, packag ing and 
shipping of fresh fruit or vegetables . 
 
Consignments contaminated with soil, or other potential carriers of regu lated pests ( for 
example, leaf litter) will not be permitted entry if the level of contamination is above the 
accepta nce level  (see section 7.4 in t he MPI Standard 152.02: Importation and Clearance of 
Fresh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand  https://www.mpi.govt.nz/document -
vault/1147 ). 
 
A completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country’s NPPO must 
accompany all consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables exported to New Zeal and. 
 
MPI will inspect all consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables to verify that New Zealand’s 
phytosanitary requirements have been met.  
 
 
5 Specific conditions for table grapes  from the People’s Republic of 
China . 
 
5.1 PRE -SHIPMENT REQUIREMENTS  
 
5.1.1 Inspection of the consignment  
 
MPI requires that the People’s Republic of China NPPO sample and visually inspect the 
consignment according to official procedures for all the regulated pests specified by MPI to 
ensure it conforms with  New Zealand’s curren t import requirements.  A phytosanitary 
certificate should not be issued if live regulated pest(s) are detected, unless the consignment 
is effectively treate d. If pests are found which are not listed in the import health standard, the 
People’s Republic of China  NPPO must establish their regulatory status. Th is list of 
regulated pests is available in M PI’s “Biosecurity Organisms Register for Impo rted 
Commodities” https://www.mpi.govt.nz/news -and-resources/resources/registers -and-
lists/biosecurity -organisms -register -for-imported -commodities/   
 
If a pest found during export inspection by AQSIQ is not listed in this r egister, the People’s 
Republic of China NPPO must contact MPI (see Section 1) to establish the regulatory status 
of the pest.  
 
Pests associated with table grapes from the People’s Republic of China  for which 
phytosanitary measures are required are listed  in Appendix 1.

 downloads  must  be made available to M PI at the port of a rrival in New Zealand for final 
clearance of the container.  
 
5.2 TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS  
 
The NPPO must ensure that the consignment (prior to export) is held in a manner to ensure 
that infestation  or reinfestation does not occur following phytosanitary certif ication.  
Where a consignment is split or has its packaging changed while in another country (or 
countries) en route  to New Zealand, a "Re -export Certificate" is required.  Where a 
consignment is held under bond as a result of the need to change conveyance s and is kept in 
the original shipping container, a "Re -export Certificate" is not required.  
 
5.3 INSPECTION ON ARRIVAL IN NEW ZEALAND  
 
MPI will check the accompanying documentation on arrival to confirm that it is correct and 
reconciles with the actual co nsignment.  
 
MPI requires, with 95% confidence, that not more than 0.5% of the units in a consignment 
are infested with visuall y detectable, regulated pests. To achieve this, MPI will sample and 
inspect 600 units with an acceptance level of zero infested un its (or equivalent), from the 
(homogeneous) lot.   
 
5.4 BIOSECURITY/QUARANTINE DIRECTIVE  
 
The consignment may be directed to a MPI approved facility for further treatment if 
required.  
 
5.5 TESTING FOR REGULATED PESTS  
 
MPI may, on the specific request of the  Chief Technical Officer , test the consignment for 
regulated pests.  
 
5.6 ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN ON THE INTERCEPTION/DETECTION OF 
PESTS /CONTAMINANTS  
 
If  regulated pests, extraneous plant ma terial or trash are intercepted or detected with the 
commodity, or asso ciated packaging, one or more of the following actions will be 
undertaken as appropriate (depending on the pest identified):  
- Re-sorting (specific conditions apply) of the consignment  
- Reshipment of the consignment  
- Destruction of the consignment  
- Treatment for those pests where an efficacious treatment is available  
- The temporary suspension of the pathway on the detection of pests (on arrival) for 
which specific pre -export phytosanitary measures are required. Suspension of the  
IHS Fresh Fruit/Veget ables. Vitis vinifera from the People’s Republic of China   
 xx June 2020  
 
(Biosecurity Act 1993)     15 
 pathway will continue un til the cause of the non -compliance has been identified and 
corrective actions have been implemented to the satisfaction of MPI. 
 
NOTE: The suspension of the pa thway could be at the packhouse, production 
area, p rovince or country level depending on the sig nificance of the pest and the 
interception.   
 
If an organism is intercepted  or detected that is not on the pest list (appended to this 
document), the consignment will be held until an assessment is undertaken to determine the 
organism’s regulatory status and appropriate measures developed if required.  
 
Consignments that are contaminated with extraneous plant material and/or trash in the 600 
unit sample will result in the consignment being held until an assessment has been made in 
comparison with the risk o f importing the part(s) of the plant species concerned.  
  
5.7 BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE  
 
If regulated pests are not detected, or are successfully treated following interception or 
detection , biosecurity clearance will be given.  
 
5.8 AUDIT OF OFFSHORE MEASURES  
 
MPI reserves the right to audit all processes that are undertaken in accordance with the 
agreed Export Plan . 
 
5.9 FEEDBACK ON NON -COMPLIANCE  
 
The People’s Republic of China  NPPO will be informed by MPI’s  Chief Technical Officer  
of the interception (and tr eatment) of any regulated pests, "unlisted" pests, or non -
compliance with measures specified in this import health standard.
