These measures have been implemented by the respective national biosecurity authorities—Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)—in response to the expanding global distribution of BMSB, particularly its rapid establishment across Europe and North America.

Requirements for Australia  

• Cargo falling under Australia’s BMSB target risk categories—including “Target High-Risk Goods” and “Target Risk Goods”—must undergo approved phytosanitary treatment (e.g., heat treatment or fumigation with methyl bromide or sulfuryl fluoride) prior to shipment.  

• Valid treatment certificates issued by accredited providers must accompany all consignments.  

• Full compliance—including documentation submission via Australia’s Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON)—is the sole responsibility of the shipper/exporter.

Requirements for New Zealand  

• All regulated cargo must complete approved fumigation in the country of origin or at an MPI-authorized transshipment port prior to arrival in New Zealand.

• CMA CGM confirms that Singapore and Port Klang are currently approved as authorized transshipment locations for this purpose.  

• Fumigation conducted after arrival in New Zealand is strictly prohibited. Non-compliant shipments will be refused entry and may be required to return to an approved transshipment port at the shipper’s expense.  

• Shippers bear full financial responsibility for any delays incurred by ANL or CMA CGM vessels—including demurrage, detention, and associated operational costs—resulting from non-compliance with MPI’s BMSB requirements.
