Weekly update 21 October 2024
Kia ora koutou,
Welcome to our weekly update report. We want to keep you informed of our work and answer your questions. We'll include lodgement queue processing times and volumes.
BMSB season
BMSB alerts are now effective for all Schedule 3 countries. We expect longer waiting times for processing lodgements from 18 October onwards. Please ensure lodgements are submitted as early as possible to minimise delays.
If you have a consignment shipped prior to 1st September that has been caught up in BMSB alerts please bring this to our attention via a comment on your application, as well as supplying evidence of the date it was onboard the export vessel.
We acknowledge that there may be disruptions that delay shipping. If you have VMP consignments where timeframes are affected and wish to have special consideration, please bring these to MPI attention by emailing BMSB@mpi.govt.nz
