Topic 1 – Fumigation requirement for cargo transported via air and sea freight.
Question
We are going to move a crane via Airfreight ex Germany – Singapore, and final leg from Singapore to Auckland will be sea freight.
Could you please kindly advise what’s the requirement when the goods depart ex Schedule B country is airfreight not sea freight?
As the shipment arrives into NZ by sea freight, it would require BMSB treatment. If it had arrived in NZ by airfreight it would not have required treatment.
The shipment will require treatment prior to leaving Germany or in Singapore prior to arrival in New Zealand.
