2    GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL PLANT PRODUCTS 
 
All plants and pl ant 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 MAF Biosecurity Ne w Zealand, 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 MAF 
Biosecurity New Zealand of any change in its address.  The national plant protection organisation of the exporting country is requ ired to inform MAF 
Biosecurity New Zealand of any newly record ed 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 
introduction of new organisms (including genetica lly modified organisms) as defined by the Act 
should be referred to:

3    EXPLANATION OF PEST CATEGORIES 
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand has categorised or ganisms associated with plants and plant 
products into regulated and non-re gulated 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.  W eeds may be in the form of seeds or other plant 
parts. 
 
3.1    REGULATED ORGANISMS 
 
Regulated organisms are those organisms for whic h phytosanitary actions w ould be undertaken if 
they were intercepted/detecte d.  These will include new organisms as defined by the Hazardous 
Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.  Regul ated organisms are sub-divided into the 
following groups: 
 
3.1.1    Quarantine: Risk group 1 pests 
 
Risk group 1 pests are those regul ated pests (FAO Glossary of P hytosanitary 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 whic h on introduction into Ne w Zealand could cause 
a major disruption to market access (some impor ting countries require specific pre-export 
phytosanitary treatments) and/or significant economic 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 fl ies) are those regulated pests 
which on entry into New Zealand would cause a major disruption to market access for a wide 
range of New Zealand commoditie s and/or have significant econom ic impacts on their production 
and/or the environment (some importing countries prohibit the entry of th e host commodity).  An 
official surveillance system is requi red for such pests in New Zealand.

(Biosecurity Act 1993)  ISSUED: 3 May 2010  Page 2 of 17 
 3.1.4    Regulated non-quarantine pests 
 
A regulated non-quarantine pest (den oted 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 wi thin 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 international trade, and may have an 
affect on human or animal health (e.g. black wi dow spider) and thus fall under the jurisdiction of 
other New Zealand government departments.  Th e categorisation of thes e organisms and their 
associated import restrictions will be applied in accordance with the requirem ents 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 pr event the transmission of vectored quarantine 
organisms to susceptible commodities in New Zeala nd, it is necessary to prev ent the entry of their 
vectors.  Vectors (denoted by "vec t." on the pest list) will be categ orised as risk group 1 even if 
they are present in New Zealand, unless they are risk group 2 pests in th eir 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 li st) are those regulated pests that are able to 
enter New Zealand via a vector asso ciated 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 pest icide resistance, vectors a differe nt range of organisms, or is 
more virulent than that of the same species pr esent in New Zealand, then the different strain 
(denoted by "strain" on the pest lis t) 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 possi ble within the required tim e 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 li st for that comm odity, it will 
be categorised into the appropriate risk group and action taken accordingly.

 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 ne w 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 al ready 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 MAF Biosecurity 
New Zealand or any other New Zealand government department.   
3.3    CONTAMINANTS (INCLUDING SOIL) 
    
Consignments contaminated with soil, or other po tential carriers of regulated pests (e.g. leaf 
litter) will not be permitted entr y if the level of contamination is above the acceptable tolerance. 
 
4    APPLICATION OF PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES 
 
A number of different phytosan itary measures may be applie d 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 fo r risk group 1 pests may include: 
 
- inspection and phytosanitary certification of the consignm ent 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 accr edited facilities), and verified by an 
additional declaration, to that give n on the phytosanitary certificate, 
-  inspection/testing of th e consignment by MAF Biosecurity New Zealand prior to 
biosecurity clearance, to en sure 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.

(Biosecurity Act 1993)  ISSUED: 3 May 2010  Page 4 of 17 
 4.3    QUARANTINE: RISK GROUP 3 PESTS 
 
Phytosanitary measures  applied to risk group 3 pests may in clude all the requirements for risk 
group 1 pests plus: 
 - the application of a pre-e xport treatment which has been developed in accordance with 
an approved MAF Biosecurity New Zealand standard, 
- an official bilateral quarantine arrangem ent between MAF Biosecurity New Zealand and 
the United States of America national pl ant protection organisation which includes 
descriptions of each appr oved treatment system(s), 
- specific additional declarations  on the phytosanitary certificate. 
 
4.4    REGULATED NO N-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 continge ncies 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 FO R FRESH FRUIT/ VEGETABLES  
 
Commodity sub-class: fresh fruit/ vegetables includes fresh fruit and vegetables for consumption. 
 
Only inert /synthetic material may be used for the pr otection, packaging and shipping materials of
