Wednesday, July 22, 2020


 

Seasonal measures for Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB)

In response to the rapid expansion of BMSB throughout Europe and North America, the department has retained the seasonal measures to manage the risk of BMSB from arriving in Australia for the 2020-2021 BMSB risk season. 

The department has used a range of scientific, intelligence and evidence based information when setting the measures, including data collected from 2019-2020 BMSB season onshore verification activities.

The list of target risk countries will now include Portugal, Ukraine and Moldova for the 2020-2021 BMSB risk season.

For the 2020-2021 BMSB risk season, heightened biosecurity measures will apply to:

- Certain goods manufactured in, or shipped from target risk countries, and/or

- Vessels that berth at, load or tranship from target risk countries.

The measures apply to goods shipped from 1st September 2020 that arrive in Australia by 31st May 2021 (inclusive)

Goods shipped between 1st September 2020 and 30th April 2021 need to be treated and will be referred or intervention if they arrive by 31st May 2021

The final season measures are available on the BMSB webpage.     https://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/before/brown-marmorated-stink-bugs

If you need any information please do not hesitate to contact Paul or Audrey for the latest requirements for your shipments.

Best regards

Bruce Begley

Managing Director
