 1.4 EXPLANATION OF PEST CATEGORIES  
 
New Zealand MAF categorises pests associated with plants and plant products into regulated and non- regulated pests. Measures to prevent the establishment of regulated pests in New 
Zealand are developed in accordance with the appropriate FAO ISPMs and other relevant international standards.  Regulated pests are those pests for which actions would be undertaken if they were intercepted/detected. As well as quarantine pests, these include pests that may pose a risk to human or animal health or to the environment, vectors of associated quarantine pests, and virulent strains (not present in New Zealand) of  non- regulated pests and contaminants. Non-
regulated pests are those pests for which actions would not be undertaken if they were intercepted/detected.  
 
OFFSHORE PHYTOSANITARY REQUIREMENTS  
  
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012 2.1 GENERAL  
 
All fresh fruit and vegetables are prohibited entry into New Zealand unless they are covered by a valid import health standard.  Unless specified, a completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country’s national plant protect ion organisation must accompany all consignments of fresh fruit/ 
vegetables exported to New Zealand.  
 The phytosanitary certificate shall contain all information as detailed in International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures, Publication No. 12 (2011) – Guidelines for Phytosanitary Certificates . 
 Hybrids between species can be imported but only when each species has an approved country: commodity schedule in Appendix 1. The hybrid must meet the schedule requirements for each species in the hybrid. 
 
2.2 PRE-EXPORT PHYTOSANITARY ACTIONS  
 Before a phytosanitary certificate is to be issued, the exporting country’s national plant protection organisation must be satisfied that the following general activities, for each consignment, have been undertaken.  
For risk group 1 (RG1) pests, either of the following activities may apply:  
 
• inspected in accordance with appropriate official procedures and found to be free 
of any visually detectable regulated pests specified by NZ  MAF.  
 
OR 
 
• been sourced from a pest free area, as verified by an official detection survey, for those regulated organisms specified by NZ MAF for which there is no practical means of inspection or testing. 
 
AND 
 
For risk group 2 pests (RG2), either of th e following activities may apply:  
 
• undergone appropriate pest control activities that are effective for those risk group 
2 quarantine pests specified by NZ MAF. 
 
OR 
 
• been sourced from a pest free area, as verified by official detection survey, for those ri sk group 2 quarantine pests as specified by NZ MAF. 
 
AND 
 
For risk group 3 pests (RG3), the following activity applies:   
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012  
• undergone an agreed treatment that is effective against RG3 pests.  
 
2.3 MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PREVALENCE (MAP)  
 
The MAP for visually detectable regulated organisms on fresh fruit/vegetables is as follows:  
 
“At a 95% confidence level, not more than 0.5% of the units in the consignment are infested (this equates to an acceptance level of zero un its infested by regulated 
organisms in a sample size of 600 units)”. 
 
2.4 PRE -EXPORT LOT INSPECTION  
 
New Zealand MAF requires that the exporting country’s national plant protection organisation (NPPO) sample and vis ually inspect the consignment according to official procedures for all 
the regulated pests specified by New Zealand MAF and ensure that it conforms with New Zealand’s current import requirements.  A phytosanitary certificate should not be issued if live regulated pest(s) are detected, unless the consignment is treated in order to eliminate these. If 
pests are found which are not listed in the specific country:commodity import health standard issued for that commodity, the NPPO must establish their regulator y status. This information 
is available in MAF’s “Biosecurity Organisms Register for Imported Commodities” 
http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pests -diseases/registers -lists/bo ric/ 
  If a pest is not listed in this register, the NPPO must contact MAF Biosecurity New Zealand to establish the regulatory status of the pest.  
 2.5 PRE -EXPORT LOT TESTING  
 Testing of consignments prior to export t o New Zealand, for regulated pests which are not 
visually detectable, is not (generally) required for fresh fruit/vegetables.  
 
2.6 TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS  
 
2.6.1 Consignments transiting another country en route to New Zeala nd 
 
The NPPO must ensure that the consignment (prior to export) is held in a manner to ensure that infestation/reinfestation does not occur following phytosanitary certification. Appropriate procedures must also be in place to ensure that unauthorised product cannot be substituted, or added to, cleared consignments.  Packages must not be opened in transit.  Where a consignment is under the direct control of the transiting country NPPO and is either stored, split up or has its packaging changed while in that  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 original container, a “Re -export Certificate” is not requi red. 
 
2.6.2 Consignments transiting New Zealand en route to another country   
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012 All consignments of fresh fruit/vegetables landed in New Zealand en route to another country 
(transiting) must be held and secured at the port of arrival.  In addition, appropriate  
procedures must be implemented to ensure that the integrity of the consignment is maintained (e.g. unpackaged commodities or commodities that are shipped in “open door” containers, must be immediately pest proofed and/or treated, to prevent the accidental  escape of pests).  
 
• Note:  Above requirements complement those specified in Section 3.2 of this standard.  
 
2.7 SPECIFIC COUNTRY:  COMMODITY REQUIREMENTS  
 
Specific phytosanitary requirements and additional declarations to the phytosanitary certificate for each country:commodity combination have been detailed in Appendix 1 to this standard and separately in country:commodity specific import health standards.   
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR BORDER CLEARANCES
 
 
3.1 GENERAL  
 
The clearance of fresh fruit and vegetables shall be carried out in accordance with MAF Biosecurity Standard 152.01.01S -  Requirements for Biosecurity Clearance of Goods Subject 
to an Import Health Standard and MAF Biosecurity Standard BMG -STD-PESTI: Pest and 
Disease Identification for Interceptions at the Border . 
 
3.2 TRANSIT THROUGH NEW ZEALAND OR “OVERCARRIED” CARGO  
 
Fresh fruit and vegetables may transit through the international airports and seaports of New  Zealand provided that the product is not removed from the aircraft or vessel upon which 
it arrived.  No certification or special conditions are require d. 
 Fresh fruit and vegetables which are in -transit to another country, may be off loaded at the 
international airports and seaports of New Zealand for reloading onto another aircraft or vessel provided that the following conditions are met:  
 
(i) The fresh fru it/vegetables are held in pest proof containers. 
 
(ii) The consignment shall be stored separately from other plant material to the satisfaction of an inspector.

  Fresh fruit/vegetables inspected offshore, and rejected for any reason, is permitted entry subject to the following: 
 
(a) Verificati on that the fruit/vegetables was either returned to its original 
pest proof container and resealed immediately after inspection or stored in pest proof facilities prior to re -export. 
 (b) The consignment was reshipped back to New Zealand by the first avail able means.  
 (c) Inspection, clearance and reconciliation of the consignment on arrival in New Zealand using the sampling and action specifications detailed in this standard. 
 
Note : Where an inspector is confident that the produce was maintained under quar antine security during overseas 
inspection, and quarantine security was maintained following inspection, inspection on arrival in New Zealand is 
not necessary.  
Note : Where consignments consist of multiple containers any unopened containers with orginal sea ls intact are 
considered to be “unopened” and the sampling will be based on the remaining “opened” containers.  
 
4.4 SAMPLING  
 
A sample shall* be taken from each lot as specified in the appropriate sampling plan detailed below. Sampl es may be taken from any part of the lot and shall include a selection of  
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012 cartons/packages from different areas of the lot. To ensure a representative sample is selected 
for inspection, consideration should be given to selecting cartons from different grow er lines, 
different pallets, different brands and different locations within the consignment.  Where the produce within a lot or consignment has the same scientific name (e.g. Brassica oleracea), but the produce differs in physical characteristics (e.g. varietal differences such as brussel sprouts and broccoli), the composition of the sample selected for inspection shall include an equal proportion of each variety of produce.  The importer may nominate the size of sample, indicated by the options in the tables below, before the inspection is carried out. Once the sample size has been selected, the total sample shall be inspected (e.g. it is not permissible to stop at 600 units when a 950 sample was originally selected).  
 If the importer has not nominated a s ample size, “option 1” shall be used.

4.5 INSPECTION 
 
All inspections of imported fresh fruit and vegetables shall be carried out at an approved transitional facility (refer MAF Biosecurity Standard BNZ -STD-TFGEN: General 
Transitional Facilities for Uncleared Goods   
 Each individual unit within the sample shall be examined by an inspector, along with the package in which they were contained, for the presence of pes ts, seeds, signs or symptoms of 
disease, soil or any other non- conformity with this standard. 
 
4.6 PACKAGING  
 Packaging associated with fresh fruit/vegetables must be clean, free from soil and other contaminants.  
4.7 TESTING  
 
Testing of the consignment for regulated pests which are not visually detectable, is not (generally) required for fresh fruit/vegetables.  
 
4.8 CONSIGNMENT RECONCILIATION 
 Three tiers of compliance check will be used to validate phytosanitary certification details (e.g. number of packages, consignment composition) against the actual consignment. These are, for each importer:  
 (i) A compliance check on every consignment for ten consecutive consignments;  
(ii) A random compliance check on one in ten consignments; and 
(iii) A random compliance check on one in twenty consignments. 
  
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012 Initially, one complete compliance check, selected randomly, per ten consignments shall be 
carried out to validate phytosanitary certificat ion details (e.g. number of packages, 
consignment composition) against the actual consignment. Where significant compliance is demonstrated over time (ie. ten consecutive compliance checks validate conformance), the regime can be raised to one complete com pliance check per twenty consignments.  
 
If a compliance check identifies a non -conformance (e.g. undeclared product), the level of 
compliance check will drop a tier. For example, if a one in twenty compliance check identifies a non- conformance, the level o f compliance check for the offending pathway will reduce to 
the one in ten compliance check tier. Or, if a one in ten compliance check identifies a non-conformance, the next ten consignments from the offending pathway shall be fully reconciled.  Where the composition of the consignment appears to include deliberately concealed product MAF Biosecurity New Zealand (plantimports@maf.govt.nz) should be notified immediately.  
4.9 PRE AND POST -INSPECTION SECURITY 
 
All* consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables which are not inspected immediately (i.e. 
within 4 -6 hours of arrival in New Zealand), shall be stored in a transitional facility until such 
time as they are inspected.  
 All consignments of fresh fruit and veg etables not complying or suspected of not complying 
with the specifications detailed in this standard shall be stored in a transitional facility, until such time as they can be inspected and or cleared, reshipped or destroyed.  
*Note: Exception of Green/Fr ench Beans from Australia, which are subject to a variable verification 
process.  
 
4.10 “SHORT -SHIPPED” CONSIGNMENTS  
 
Consignments of fresh fruit/vegetables which are “short shipped” (portion of the intended shipment is unexpectedly offloaded at the port of  export) do not require the issuance of a 
revised phytosanitary certificate as long as the balance of the shipment arrives in New Zealand within 24 hours.  
4.11 BIOSECURITY DIRECTIVE/CLEARANCE  
 
A written bios ecurity directive shall specify any conditions applying to the consignment. 
 A written biosecurity clearance shall be issued by an inspector for each consignment/lot of imported fresh fruit and/or vegetables cleared for entry into New  Zealand.  
 
4.12 NATIONAL CLEARANCE  
 Consignments of fresh fruit/vegetables shipped as sea cargo may be cleared on a national basis at the first port of entry when they are to be discharged at more than one port provided that the following conditions are met:   
MAF Biosecurit y New Zealand S tandard:  
152.02:  Importation and Clearance of Fr esh Fruit and Vegetables into New Zealand 28 May 2012 (i) The importer must advise an inspector of their desire to obtain national 
clearance at least two working days prior to the arrival of the consignment. 
 (ii) Correct certificates/documents must be presented prior to arrival of the consignment. 
 
 Note:  The consignment must be covered by one phytosanitary certificate. 
 
(iii) The consignment shall remain under the control of an inspector at all times during transit. 
 (iv) Inspector(s) at the subsequent port(s) of discharge/inspection shall be notified of the co nsignment and movement details accordingly. 
 (v) All consignments under national clearance shall be reconciled at subsequent ports in accordance with the rate specified in section 4.8 of this standard. 
 
4.13 TRADE SAMPLES FOR EVALUATION 
 Trade samples (< 30 kgs) may be imported for evaluation purposes subject to the following conditions:  
 
(i) The consignment is covered by a letter of approval signed by a Senior Adviser, Biosecurity Standards Group, Biosecurity New Zealand. 
 (ii) An inspector at the port of entry is notified in writing at least 48 hours prior to the intended importation. 
 (iii) The trade sample will be used for sensory evaluation (e.g. taste, visual appearance) and the entire consignment and packaging will be destroy ed 
within 48 hours of importation. 
 (iv) The consignment is subject to 100% inspection by an inspector and any units with signs or symptoms of pest infestation or infection shall be removed and destroyed.  (Note:  The detection of fruit fly infestation would re sult in 
destruction of the entire consignment). 
 (v) After MAF inspection, sensory evaluation can be undertaken in a MAF operated transitional facility under the supervision of a MAF inspector. 
 (vi) The consignment and packaging shall be destroyed to the satisfact ion of the
