3    EXPLANATION OF PEST CATEGORIES  
 
The New  Zealand Ministry fo r Primary Industries  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 se parate 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 un dertaken 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 (FAO 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 econo mic impacts on the production of a particular 
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 N ew Zealand would cause a major disruption to 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 required for such pests in New Zealand.  
 IHS Fresh Fruit/Vegetables.  Cucumber, Cucumis sativus from Australia   
(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 23 August 2018   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, af fects 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 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 internat ional trade, and may have an 
affect on human 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 b e applied in accordance with the requirements 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 Zeal and.  To prevent the transmission of vectored 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 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 -quarantine pest(s).  
 
3.1.7    Vectored organisms  
 
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 associated 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 th e 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 wi ll 
be categorised into the appropriate risk group and action taken accordingly.

(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 23 August 2018   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 Ze aland 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 the Ministry for 
Primary Industries  or any other New Zealand government department.  
 
3.3    CONTAMINANTS (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 acce ptable tolerance.  
 
4    APPLICATION OF PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES  
 
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 group 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,  
-  inspect ion/testing of the consignment by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary 
Industries  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.  Cucumber, Cucumis sativus from Australia   
(Biosecurity Act 1993)   ISSUED: 23 August 2018   Page 5 of 16 
 4.3    QUARANTINE: RISK GROUP 3 PESTS  
 
Phytosanitary measures  applied to risk group 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 New Z ealand Ministry for Primary Industries  standard,  
- an official bilateral quarantine arrangement between the New Zealand Ministry for 
Primary Industries  and the Australia national plant protection organisation which 
includes descriptions of each a pproved treatment system(s),  
- specific additional declarations on the phytosanitary certificate.  
 
4.4    REGULATED 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 NON -QUARANTINE PESTS  
 
No phytosanitary measures are applied to non -regulated non -quarantine pests.  
 
5    GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR FRESH FRUIT/VEGET ABLES  
 
Commodity sub -class: fresh fruit/vegetables includes fresh fruit and vegetables for consumption.  
 
Only inert /synthetic material may be used for the protection, packaging and shipping materials of 
fresh fruit/vegetables . 
 
All host material (fruit/ve getables) 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 the New  Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries 's Director, 
Plants Biosecurity and the head of the supply country's national plant protection organisation.

6.2    TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS  
 
The cucumbers must be packed and shipped in a manner to prevent contamination by regulated 
pests.  
 
The package should not be opened 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 
result of the need to change conveyances, and it is kept in the or iginal shipping container, a "Re -
export Certificate" is not required.  
 
6.3    INSPECTION ON ARRIVAL  
 
The New  Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries  will check the accompanying documentation 
on arrival to confirm that it reconciles with the actual con signment.  
 
The New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries  requires, with 95% confidence, that not more 
than 0.5% of the units (for cucumbers, a unit is one fruit) in a consignment are infested with 
visually detectable regulated pests.  To achieve th is, the New Zealand Ministry for Primary 
Industries  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 facility for further treatment if required.  
 
6.5    TESTING FOR REGULATED 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 undertak en as appropriate:  
 
6.6.1    Quarantine: Risk group 1 pests  
 
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 of 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 discr etion of the Director, Plants Biosecurity 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 invest igated, identified 
and rectified.  The appropriate actions may be audited by the New Zealand Ministry for 
Primary Indust ries.  Once the requirements of the New Zealand Ministry for Primary 
Industries  have been met to the satisfaction of the Direc tor, Plants Biosecurity, and 
supporting evidence is provided and verified by the Australia national plant protection 
organisation, the trade suspension will be lifted.  
 
6.6.4    Regulated non -quarantine pests  
 
Actions for the interception/detection of regu lated non -quarantine pests will be in accordance 
with the contingencies implemented for that pest if detected in New Zealand.

Interception of extr aneous 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 comparison with the risk of importing the 
part(s) of the plant species concerned.  
 
6.7    BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE  
 
If reg ulated 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 the New  Zealand 
Ministry for Primary Industries 's Director, Plants Biosecurity of the interception (and treatment) 
of any regulated pests, "unlisted" organisms, or non -compliance with other phytosanitary 
requirements.  
 
7    CONTINGENCIES FOLLOWING BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE  
 
Should a regulated pest be detected subsequent to biosecurity clearance, the New Zealand 
Ministry for Primary Industries  may implement a management programme (official control 
programme) in accordance with Part V of the Biosecurity Act 1993 and Part  5 of the Biosecurity 
Amendment Act 1997.
