Who does this notification affect?
Importers and agents associated with importing Vehicles, Machinery and Parts from 37 BMSB risk countries and Sea Containers from Italy, during the BMSB season.
What has changed?
The 19/20 BMSB off-shore treatment provider list has been removed from the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (DAWE) website. The 20/21 list is now available. To find more information about the BMSB treatment provider Scheme that MPI and DAWE use for the management of BMSB, you can find this here:
Information on Offshore BMSB treatment providers scheme
BMSB treatment in Japan
MPI requires BMSB management for vehicles, machinery and parts export from Japan, different to what is required when importing into Australia. Therefore, MPI has approved additional treatment providers in Japan on a separate MPI treatment provider list: Please use this list and not the main BMSB offshore treatment provider list
Importers may also consider treatment for goods (such as used parts) on the way to New Zealand in countries such as Singapore if treatment in Japan is limited or not an option for you.

FAQ
Question
I don’t see my Schedule 3 country, where I will export from on the approved offshore BMSB treatment provider 20/21 list, what do I do now?
Answer:
MPI allows goods to be treated by listed approved providers, in any country before they arrive in New Zealand. If treatment cannot be carried out in the country of export, you will need to arrange treatment in another country on the way to New Zealand. Please note: it is not an option to have goods treated in Australia during transhipment on the way to New Zealand – There are no Australian treatment providers on the offshore treatment provider list.
Make sure the treatment certificate has relevant identifiers linking the certificate to the rest of the shipping documentation.
