MAFBNZ welcome submissions from all interested parties on these proposed changes to the Import Health Standard. Submissions should be forwarded to MAFBNZ by 5 October 2009.

Depending on the outcomes of consultation, MAFBNZ anticipate any changes to the Import Health Standard will be fully implemented by 1 November 2009. We encourage importers to ensure that all Wood Packaging Material destined for New Zealand is compliant with ISPM 15 prior to this date.
