Draft IHS: Imported Vehicles and Machinery
The New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) must consult with interested parties before issuing or amending (other than of minor nature) standards in accordance with Section 22 of the Biosecurity Act (1993) and Biosecurity New Zealand's consultation policy.
The MAF Biosecurity New Zealand (MAFBNZ) Draft Import Health Standard VEHICLE-ALL: Imported Vehicles and Machinery specifies the requirements for importers to meet when importing Vehicles and Machinery into New Zealand. The standard is focused on a system solution to manage this pathway.
Comments are invited on the draft Import Health Standard from members of the public and other interested parties.
MAFBNZ is also providing the Segment Strategy for Vehicles and Machinery as part of the consultation package to help inform readers about the vehicle and machinery pathway and some of the drivers around the draft Import Health Standard.
Segment strategies outline the characteristics, specific objectives, priorities, and key biosecurity risks of a pathway. They also outline some high-level options for managing risk within the segment and engaging with domestic and international stakeholders involved within the pathway.
