You can now place import orders and avoid the BMSB fumigation requirements
You're now clear to ship and miss the fumigation requirements for Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs
New Zealand importers can now place orders to overseas suppliers with the confidence that the goods will not require fumigation upon arrival for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB). To ensure compliance, you are advised to factor in a lead time of at least six weeks to allow for departure and arrival dates that fall outside the BMSB-risk season. As it ends on 1 May 2023 we're now outside that season for arrival shipments.
Importing outside the dates means a more streamlined importation process and reduces costs associated with fumigation than if you import on the highest risk dates.
These restrictions are usually associated with importing vehicles, machinery or parts, or sea containers from Italy, check what BMSB requirements may apply to you.
