NEW  ZEALAND LEGISLATIVE REQ UIREMENTS AND 
INTE RNAT IONAL  OBL IGAT IONS 
 
All New Zealand im port health standards ar e based upon risk analyses, w hich m ay assess 
either a com modity or a pest and pathwa y com bination. New Zealand’s legislative 
requirem ents and international obligations ar e taken into account when conducting risk 
analyses and applying the findi ngs in the developm ent of i mport health standards. The 
principal docum ent for a ll New Zealand im port h ealth standards relating to plants and plant 
products is the Biosecurity Act (1993), whilst th e international obligations derive principally 
from  the guidelines on risk analysis develope d under the auspices of  the In terim Commission 
on Phytosanitary Measures ope rating within th e framework of  the In terna tional Plan t 
Protection C onvention, and the W orld Trade Or ganisation Agreem ent on the Application of 
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

2 General conditions for the import ation of all plants and plant 
products 
 
Plants and p lant p roducts are not p ermitted entry into New Zealand unless  an im port health 
standard h as been issued  in acco rdance with Section 22 of the Biosecurity Act 1993. Should 
plants or plant products, for which no im port h ealth standard exists, be intercepted by MAF 
Biosecurity New Zealand, the im porter will be  offered the option of reshipm ent or 
destruction of the consignm ent (at the im porter’s expense). 
 
The NPPO of the exporting country is required to inform  MAF Biosecurity New Zealand of 
any newly recorded pests which m ay infest/i nfect any commodity approved for export to 
New Zealand. 
 
 
3  Explanati on of pest categories 
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand categorises p ests associated with plan ts and plant products 
into regulated and non-regulated pests. Measures  to preven t the estab lishm ent of  regula ted 
pests in New Zealand are developed in acco rdance with th e appropriate Intern ational 
Standards for Phytosanitary Measures and other relevant international standards.

Regulated pests are those pests for w hich ac tions would be undertaken if they were 
intercepted or detected.  As we ll as quarantine p ests th ese in clude pests that m ay pose a risk 
to hum an or anim al health or to the environm ent, vectors of associated quarantine pests, and 
virulent strains (not present in New Zealand)  of non-regulated pests and contam inants. Non-
regulated pests are those pests for which acti ons would not be undertaken if they were 
intercepted or detected. 
 
 
4  General conditions for fresh fr uit/vegetables for consumption 
 
Only clean and synthetic m aterial m ay be used  for the protection, packaging and shipping of 
fresh fruit or vegetables . 
 
Consignm ents contam inated with soil, or othe r potential c arriers of regulated pests (for 
exam ple, leaf litter) will not be perm itted en try if the lev el of contam ination is above the 
acceptance level (see section 7.4 in th e MAF Biosecurity New Zealand Standard 152.02: 
Importation and Clearance of Fresh Fr uit and Vegetables into New Zealand  
http://www.biosecurity. govt.nz/files/ihs/152-02.pdf ).    
 
A com pleted phytosanitary certificate issued  by the exporting country’s NPPO m ust 
accom pany all con signments of fresh fruit and vegetab les exported to New Zealand.  
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand will inspect all cons ignm ents of fresh fruit and vegetables to 
verify that New Zealand’s phytosanitary requirem ents have been m et. 
 
 
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 
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand req uires that the People’s R epublic of China NPPO sam ple 
and visually inspect the consi gnment accord ing to  official pro cedures for all the regu lated 
pests specified by MAF Biosecurity New Zealand to ensure it conform s with New Zealand’s 
current im port requirements.  A phytosanitary certificate should not  be issued if live 
regulated pest(s ) are d etected, unless the cons ignment is ef fectively treated. If pests are 
found which are not listed in th e import health standard, th e People’s Republic of China 
NPPO must estab lish the ir regu latory status. This list of  regulated pes ts is a vailab le in 
MAF’s “Biosecurity Organism s Register for Im ported Commodities”

People’s Republic of China.  
 
5.1.3 Phytosanitary measures  
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand cu rrently app roves either co ld-disinfes tation or pes t free area 
as an efficacious phytosanitary m easure for the high im pact fruit fly species associated with 
table grapes in the People’s Republic of China.  
 
MAFBNZ r equires the People’s Re public of China NPPO to undertake agreed pest control 
activ ities th at are ef fectiv e agains t the other ( non-fruit fly) high im pact pests prior to the 
commodity arriving in New Zealand, and phytosanitary certification will need  to attest to this 
accord ingly.  These high im pact pests  are: 
 
 Conogethes punctiferalis  
 Guignardia bidwellii 
 Monilinia fructigena 
 Tetranychus kanzawai

that infestation or reinfestation does not occur following phytosanitary certification.  
Where a con signm ent is split o r has its pack aging changed while in another country (or 
countries) en route  to N ew Zealand, a "Re-export Cert ificate" is required.  W here a 
consignm ent is held under bond as a result of the need to change conveyances and is kept in 
the original shipping container, a "R e-export Certificate" is not required. 
 
5.3 INSPECTI ON ON ARRIVAL IN NEW Z EALAND 
 
MAF Biosecurity New Zealand will check th e accom panying docum entation on arrival to 
confirm  that it is correct and reconc iles with th e actual consig nment.

- Reshipm ent of the consignm ent 
- Destruction of the consignm ent 
- Treatm ent for those pests where an efficacious treatm ent is availab le 
- The tem porary suspension of the pathway on the detection of pests (on arrival) for 
which specif ic pre-export phytosanitary m easures are required. Suspension of the 
pathway will continue u ntil the cau se of the non-com pliance has been id entified and 
correctiv e actions h ave been im plem ented to the satisf actio n of MAF Biosecur ity 
New Zealand. 
 
NOTE: The suspension of the pathway c ould be at the packhouse, production 
area, province or country level depending on the significance of the pest and the 
interception.   
 
If an organism is intercepted or detected th at is n ot on the pe st list (appen ded to th is 
docum ent), the consignm ent will be held until an assessm ent is undertak en to determ ine the 
organism ’s regulatory status and appropr iate m easures developed if required. 
 
Consignm ents that are contam inated with extr aneous plant m aterial and/or trash in the 600 
unit sam ple will r esult in  the cons ignment being held until an  assessm ent has been m ade in 
comparison with the risk  of importing the part(s) of th e plant species concerned. 
  
5.7 BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE 
 
If regulated pests are not dete cted, or are successfully tr eated following interception or 
detection, biosecurity clearance will be given. 
 
5.8 AUDI T OF OFFSHORE MEASURES
