2    GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL PLANT PRODUCTS  
 
All plants and plant products are PROHIBITED  entry into New Zealand, unless an import health 
standard has been issued in accordance with Section 22 of the Biosecurity Act 1993.  Should 
prohibited plants  or plant products be intercepted by MPI, the importer will be offered the option 
of reshipment or destruction of the consignment.  
 
The national plant protection organisation of the exporting country is requested to inform MPI of 
any change in its address.  
 
The national plant protection organisation of the exporting country is required to inform MPI of 
any newly recorded organisms which may infest/infect any commodity approved  for export to 
New  Zealand.  
 
Pursuant to the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, proposals for the deliberate

3    EXPLANATION OF PEST CATEGORIES  
 
MPI has categorised organisms associated with plants and plant products into regulated and non -
regulated organisms as described below.  Organisms (including weeds) associated with each 
commodity will appear on a separate 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 undertaken if 
they were intercepted/detected.   These will include new organisms as defined by the Hazardous 
Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.  Regulated organisms are sub -divided into the 
following groups:  
 
3.1.1    Quarantine: Risk group 1 pests  
 
Risk group 1 pests are those regulated pests (FA O Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms, 1996) which 
on introduction into New Zealand could cause unacceptable economic impacts on the production 
of a commodity/commodities and/or the environment.  
 
3.1.2    Quarantine: Risk 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 pre -export 
phytosanitary treatments) and/or significant economic impacts on the production of a particul ar 
commodity/commodities and/or the environment.  
 
3.1.3    Quarantine: 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 t o market access for a wide 
range of New Zealand commodities and/or have significant economic impacts on their production 
and/or the environment (some importing countries prohibit the entry of the host commodity).  An 
official surveillance system is require d for such pests in New Zealand.

(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 20 December 2000   Page 3 of 16 
 
 3.1.4    Regulated non -quarantine 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, affects the intended use of those plants with  an economically 
unacceptable impact and is therefore regulated within the territory of the importing contracting 
party (Revised IPPC definition, Rome 1997).  These pests would be under official control by the 
use of a Government operated or audited certif ication 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 international trade, and may have an 
affect on huma n or animal health ( e.g. black widow spider) and thus fall under the jurisdiction of 
other New Zealand government departments.  The categorisation of these organisms and their 
associated import restrictions will be applied in accordance with the requiremen ts of the relevant 
departments.  
 
3.1.6    Vectors of associated quarantine pests  
 
In the context of this import health standard, vectors are those organisms which are able to 
transmit regulated pests into New Zealand.  To prevent the transmission of vector ed quarantine 
organisms to susceptible commodities in New Zealand, 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 the y 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 -quarantine pest(s).  
 
3.1.7    Vectored organ isms  
 
Vectored organisms (denoted by "VO" on the pest list) are 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 associa ted with the imported commodity has a 
different host range, different pesticide resistance, vectors a different range of organisms, or is 
more virulent than that of the same species present in New Zealand, then the different 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 identification of an organism not be possible within the required time frame, the organism 
will be categorised as a regulated pest (either risk groups 1, 2, or 3) until such time 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.

(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 20 December 2000   Page 4 of 16 
 
 3.2    NON -REGULATED ORGANISMS  
 
Non-regulated organisms are those organisms for which phytosanitary actions would not be 
undertaken if they were intercepted/detected.  These would include new organisms 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-regulated non -quarantine pests are either already present in New Zealand 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 concern to MPI or any other 
New Zealand government department.  
 
3.3    CONTAMINAN TS (INCLUDING SOIL)  
    
Consignments contaminated with soil, 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 tolerance.  
 
4    APPLICATION OF PHYTOSANITARY M EASURES  
 
A number of different phytosanitary measures may 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 measures required for risk gro up 1 pests may include:  
 
- inspection and phytosanitary certification of the consignment according to appropriate 
procedures by the national plant protection organisation of the exporting country,  
- testing prior to export for regulated pests which cannot be readily detected by inspection 
(e.g. viruses on propagating material from accredited facilities), and verified by an 
additional declaration, to that given on the phytosanitary certificate,  
-  inspection/testing of the consignment by MPI prior to biosecurity clearance, to ensure 
the specified pest tolerance has not been exceeded.  
 
4.2    QUARANTINE: RISK GROUP 2 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures required for risk group 2 pests may include all the requirements for risk 
group 1 pests  and may also require pre -export pest control activities to be undertaken by the 
contracting party, and confirmed by additional declarations to the phytosanitary certificate.  
 IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetables.  Grape, Vitis vin ifera from Australia.   
(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 20 December 2000   Page 5 of 16 
 
 4.3    QUARANTINE: RISK GROUP 3 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures  applied to risk g roup 3 pests  may include all the requirements for risk 
group 1 pests plus:  
 
- the application of a pre -export treatment which has been developed in accordance with 
an approved MPI standard,  
- an official bilateral quarantine ar rangement between MPI and the Australia national plant 
protection organisation which includes descriptions of each approved treatment 
system(s),  
- specific additional declarations on the phytosanitary certificate.  
 
4.4    REGULA TED NON -QUARANTINE PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures applied to regulated non -quarantine pests will generally be the same as 
for risk group 1 pests, or according to the contingencies implemented for that pest if detected in 
New Zealand.  
 
4.5    NON -REGULATED N ON-QUARANTINE PESTS  
 
No phytosanitary measures are applied to non -regulated non -quarantine pests.  
 
5    GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR FRESH FRUIT/VEGETABLES  
 
Commodity sub -class: fresh fruit/vegetables includes fresh fruit and vegetables for consumption.  
 
Only i nert/synthetic material may be used for the protection, packaging and shipping materials of 
fresh fruit/vegetables . 
 
All host material (fruit/vegetables) of fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae) of economic 
significance shall only be imported under the terms of a bilateral quarantine arrangement (e.g. 
agreement, workplan) between MPI’s Chief Technical Officer  and the head of the supply 
country's national plant protection organisation.

 6    SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR GRAPES FRO M AUSTRALIA  
 
This import health standard covers the requirements for the entry of grapes, commodity sub -class: 
fresh fruit/vegetables from Australia only.  
 
6.1    PRE -EXPORT REQUIREMENTS  
 
6.1.1    Inspection of the consignment  
 
MPI requires that the Australia national plant protection organisation sample and inspect the 
consignment according to official procedures for all visually detectable regulated pests (as 
specified by MPI), with a 95% confidence le vel, that not more than 0.5% of the units in the 
consignment are infested (this equates to an acceptance level of zero units infested by quarantine 
pests in a sample size of 600 units).  
 
6.1.2    Testing of the consignment  
 
Testing of the consignment prior  to export to New  Zealand for quarantine pathogens which are 
not visually detectable is not generally required for fresh grapes from Australia.  
 
6.1.3    Documentation  
 
Bilateral quarantine arrangement:  Required  
 
Grapes, commodity sub -class: fresh fruit/v egetables, may only be imported into New  Zealand 
from Australia under the terms of the bilateral quarantine arrangement.  
 
Phytosanitary certificate:  Required.  
 
Import  permit/Authorisation to import:   Exempt under Gazette Notice: No. AG12, 
13 July 1995.  
 
6.1.4    Phytosanitary  certification  
 
A completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the Australia national plant protection 
organisation must accompany all grapes, commodity sub -class: fresh fruit/vegetables exported to 
New  Zealand.  
 
Before an export phy tosanitary certificate is to be issued, the Australia national plant protection 
organisation must be satisfied that the following activities required by MPI have been undertaken.  
 
The grapes have:  
 
- been inspected in accordance with appropriate official procedures and found to be free 
of visually detectable regulated pests specified by  MPI

(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 20 December 2000   Page 8 of 16 
 
 Note:  For Latrodectus hasselti,  either an additional declaration is required whereby 
Latrodectus  hasselti  is treated using forced air fumigation with a mixture of sulphur dioxide (1%) 
and carbon dioxide (6%) for 30 minutes OR the treatment specificat ion for Latrodectus hasselti is 
detailed in the treatment section of the Phytosanitary Certificate.  
 
6.2    TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS  
 
The grapes must be packed and shipped in a manner to prevent contamination by regulated pests.  
 
The package should not be open ed in transit.  However, where a consignment is either stored, 
split up 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 
resul t of the need to change conveyances, and it is kept in the original shipping container, a "Re -
export Certificate" is not required.  
 
6.3    INSPECTION ON ARRIVAL  
 
MPI will check the accompanying documentation on arrival to confir m that it reconciles with the 
actual consignment.  
 
MPI requires, with 95% confidence, that not more than 0.5% of the units (for grapes, a unit is one 
bunch) in a consignment are infested with visually detectable regulated pests.   To achieve this, 
MPI will sample and inspect 600 units with an acceptance level of zero infested units (or 
equivalent), from the (homogeneous) lot.  
 
6.4    BIOSECURITY/QUARANTINE DIRECTIVE  
 
The commodity may be directed to a f acility for further treatment if required.  
 
6.5    TESTING FOR REGULATED PESTS  
 
MPI may, on the specific request of the Chief Technical Officer , test grapes (commodity 
subclass: fresh fruit/vegetables) from Australia for regulat ed pests.  
 
6.6    ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN ON THE INTERCEPTION/DETECTION OF 
ORGANISMS /CONTAMINANTS  
 
If regulated pests are intercepted/detected on the commodity, or associated packaging, the 
following actions will be undertaken as appropriate:

If a risk group 1 pest is intercepted, the importer will be given the option of: - 
 
- treatment (where possible) of the consignment at the importer's risk,  
-  re-sorting (specific conditions apply) of the consignment,  
- reshipment o f the consignment,  
-  destruction of the consignment.  
 
6.6.2    Quarantine: Risk group 2 pests  
 
If a risk group 2 pest is intercepted, the importer will be given the option of: - 
 
- treatment (where possible) at the discretion of the Chief Technical Officer  and 
immediate feedback to the national plant protection organisation of the exporting country 
with a request for corrective action,  
-  reshipment of the consignment,  
-            destruction of the consignment.  
 
6.6.3    Quarantine: Risk group 3 pests  
 
Actions for the interception of risk group 3 pests will include: - 
 
- reshipment of the consignment OR destruction of the consignment,  
 
 AND  
 
- the suspension of trade, until the cause of the non -compliance is investigated, identified 
and rectified.  The ap propriate actions may be audited by MPI.  Once the requirements of 
MPI have been met to the satisfaction of the Chief Technical Officer , and supporting 
evidence is provided and verified by the Australi a national plant protection organisation, 
the trade suspension will be lifted.  
 
6.6.4    Regulated non -quarantine pests  
 
Actions for the interception/detection of regulated non -quarantine pests will be in accordance 
with the contingencies implemented for t hat pest if detected in New Zealand.

Lots with more than 25 grams of soil per 600 unit sample shall be treated, reshipped or destroyed.  
 
Interception of extraneous plant material (e.g. leaves, twigs) in the 600 unit sample will result in 
the lot being held until an assessment has been made in compariso n with the risk of importing the 
part(s) of the plant species concerned.  
 
6.7    BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE  
 
If regulated pests are not detected, or are successfully treated following interception/detection 
biosecurity clearance will be given.  
 
6.8    FEEDBACK ON NON -COMPLIANCE  
 
The Australia national plant protection organisation will be informed by MPI of the interception 
(and treatment) of any regulated pests, "unlisted" organisms, or non -compliance with other 
phytosanitary requirem ents.  
 
7    CONTINGENCIES FOLLOWING BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE  
 
Should a regulated pest be detected subsequent to biosecurity clearance, MPI may implement a 
management programme (official control programme) in accordance with Part V o f the 
Biosecurity Act 1993 and Part 5 of the Biosecurity Amendment Act 1997.
