OUTLINE OF REQUIREMENTS

This import health standard outlines the requirements that must be met prior to shipment, in-transit and on arrival in New Zealand for fresh papaya imported from Australia.

This standard is replicated at the following Internet address:

NEW ZEALAND LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS

All New Zealand import health standards are based upon risk analyses, which may assess either a commodity or a pest/pathway combination. New Zealand’s legislative requirements and international obligations are taken into account when conducting risk analyses and applying the findings in the development of import health standards. The principal document for all New Zealand import health standards relating to plants and plant products is the Biosecurity Act (1993), whilst the international obligations derive principally from the guidelines on risk analysis developed under the auspices of the Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (now the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures) operating within the framework of the International Plant Protection Convention, and the World Trade Organisation Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

IMPORT HEALTH STANDARD: FRESH FRUIT/VEGETABLES – PAPAYA (Carica papaya) FROM AUSTRALIA.

1 Official contact point (New Zealand National Plant Protection Organisation)

The official contact point in New Zealand for overseas NPPOs is the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. All communication pertaining to this import health standard should be addressed to:

Manager, Biosecurity Standards

2 General conditions for the importation of all plants and plant products

Plants and plant products are not permitted entry into New Zealand unless an import health standard has been issued in accordance with Section 22 of the Biosecurity Act 1993. Should plants or plant products, for which no import health standard exists, be intercepted by New Zealand MAF, the importer will be offered the option of reshipment or destruction of the consignment (at their expense).

The NPPO of the exporting country is requested to inform New Zealand MAF of any change of address.

The NPPO of the exporting country is required to inform New Zealand MAF of any newly recorded pests which may infest/infect any commodity approved for export to New Zealand.

Pursuant to the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, proposals for the deliberate introduction of new organisms (including genetically modified organisms) as defined by the Act should be referred to the Environment Risk Management Authority, PO Box 131, Wellington or e-mail: info@ermanz.govt.nz

[Note: In order to meet the Environmental Risk Management Authority's requirements the scientific name (i.e. genus and species) of the commodity must be included in the phytosanitary certificate.]

3 Explanation of pest categories

New Zealand MAF categorises pests associated with plants and plant products into regulated and non-regulated pests. Measures to prevent the establishment of regulated pests in New Zealand are developed in accordance with the appropriate FAO ISPMs and other relevant international standards.

Regulated pests are those pests for which actions would be undertaken if they were intercepted/detected. As well as quarantine pests, these include new organisms as defined by the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, pests that may pose a risk to human or animal health or to the environment, vectors of associated quarantine pests, and virulent strains (not present in New Zealand) of non-regulated pests and contaminants. Non-regulated pests are those pests for which actions would not be undertaken if they were intercepted/detected.

Pests (including weeds) associated with each commodity will appear on a separate pest list which will be attached to each import health standard as an Appendix.

4 Application of measures

A number of different measures may be applied to pests based on the outcome of pest risk analyses. Required measures may include:

• Surveillance for pest freedom
• Testing prior to export for regulated pests which cannot be readily detected by inspection (e.g. viruses on propagable material)
• Specific pre-shipment pest control activities to be undertaken by the supply country’s contracting party
• The application of a pre-shipment treatment
• Inspection of the export consignment
• Issuance of a phytosanitary certificate which attests to the phytosanitary status of a consignment
• Treatment on arrival in New Zealand

5 General conditions for fresh fruit/vegetables for consumption

Only clean, inert/synthetic material may be used for the protection, packaging and shipping of fresh fruit/vegetables.

A completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country’s NPPO must accompany all consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables exported to New Zealand.

New Zealand MAF will inspect all consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables to verify that New Zealand’s phytosanitary requirements have been met.

Where it has been determined through pest risk assessment that high impact pests are associated with a particular commodity more specific phytosanitary measures must be met. In most circumstances these phytosanitary measures will need to be met prior to arrival of the commodity in New Zealand.

6 Specific conditions for papaya (Commodity Sub-Class: Fresh Fruit/Vegetables) from Australia.

6.1 PRE-SHIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

6.1.1 Inspection of the consignment

New Zealand MAF requires that the Australian NPPO sample and visually inspect the consignment according to official procedures for all the regulated pests specified by New Zealand MAF and ensure that it conforms with New Zealand’s current import requirements. A phytosanitary certificate should not be issued if live regulated pest(s) are detected, unless the consignment is treated in order to eliminate these. If pests are found which are not listed in the import health standard, the Australian NPPO must establish their regulatory status. This information is available in MAF’s “Biosecurity Organisms Register for Imported Commodities” http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pests-diseases/registers-lists/boric/

If a pest is not listed in this register, the Australian NPPO must contact MAF (see Section 1) to establish the regulatory status of the pest.

6.1.2 Testing of the consignment

Testing of the consignment prior to export to New Zealand for regulated pests which are not visually detectable (viz. fungi and bacteria) is not generally required for fresh papaya from Australia.

6.1.3 Phytosanitary measures for high impact pests

The strength of phytosanitary measures will generally be greater for high impact pests than for other regulated pests, reflecting the greater risks associated with these pests. In most circumstances phytosanitary measures for high impact pests will need to be met prior to arrival of the commodity in New Zealand, and phytosanitary certification will need to attest to this accordingly.

New Zealand MAF and the Australian NPPO have agreed to the use of irradiation as a phytosanitary measure for the high impact fruit fly species on the Australian papaya pest list. The application of the irradiation treatment must be carried out in accordance with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures publication No. 18: Guidelines for the use of irradiation as a phytosanitary measure.

• Fruit flies irradiated with a minimum dose rate of 150 Gy

New Zealand MAF requires the Australian NPPO to undertake appropriate pest control activities for the other (non-fruit fly) high impact pests prior to the commodity arriving in New Zealand.

NOTE: “appropriate pest control activities” is a broad term that is inclusive of a range of phytosanitary measures. Examples of these measures are pest free areas, physical exclusion (such as bagging of fruit), chemical treatments, irradiation treatment etc.

NOTE: Where irradiation is chosen as the pest control activity for Conogethes punctiferalis a minimum dose of 250Gy must be applied. This treatment will be considered to be a minimum irradiation dose for all regulated arthropod pests on the Australian papaya pest list.

6.1.4 Documentation

Bilateral quarantine arrangement/Workplan: Required for fruit flies.

Papaya may only be imported into New Zealand from Australia under the terms of the Bilateral Quarantine Arrangement.

Phytosanitary certificate: Required.

Import permit/Authorisation to import: Exempt under Gazette Notice: No. AG12, 13 July 1995.

6.1.5 Phytosanitary certification

A completed phytosanitary certificate issued by the Australian NPPO must accompany all papaya consignments exported to New Zealand.

Before a phytosanitary certificate is issued, the Australian NPPO must be satisfied that the following activities required by New Zealand MAF have been undertaken.

The papaya have:

(i) been visually inspected in accordance with appropriate official procedures and found to be free from any regulated plant pathogens; AND

(ii) undergone appropriate pest control activities for Conogethes punctiferalis; AND

(iii) undergone an agreed treatment that is effective against associated fruit fly species of economic significance in accordance with Appendix 12 of the Bilateral Quarantine Arrangement between NZ MAF and AQIS.

Note: The irradiation treatment dose rate shall be specified in the treatment section of the phytosanitary certificate.

Note: Pest control activities are to comply with relevant health and safety requirements and food standards.

6.1.6 Additional declarations to the phytosanitary certificate

If satisfied that the pre-shipment activities have been undertaken, the Australian NPPO must confirm this by providing the following additional declarations to the phytosanitary certificate:

(i) This is to certify that the papaya described herein have been inspected according to appropriate official procedures and are considered to be free from the quarantine pests specified by New Zealand MAF and to conform with the current phytosanitary requirements of New Zealand MAF, including those for regulated non-quarantine pests;

NOTE: This additional declaration is not required if the phytosanitary certificate issued by the Australian NPPO is in accordance with the model phytosanitary certificate annexed to the revised (1997) text of the FAO IPPC.

AND

(ii) The papaya in this consignment have undergone appropriate pest control activities that are effective against Conogethes punctiferalis;

AND

(iii) The papaya in this consignment have been treated in accordance with Appendix 12 of the Bilateral Quarantine Arrangement between NZ MAF and AQIS.

NOTE: The treatment dose rate must be specified in the treatment section of the phytosanitary certificate. If an applied dose of 150Gy is used, the measures and actions in Option 1 of Appendix 1 apply. Where a dose of 250Gy is used, the measures and actions in Option 2 of Appendix 1 apply.

6.2 TRANSIT REQUIREMENTS

The papaya must be packed and shipped in a manner to prevent possible post-inspection/treatment infestation and/or contamination by regulated pests. Where a consignment is split or has its packaging changed while in another country (or countries) en route to New Zealand, a "Re-export Certificate" is required. Where a consignment is held under bond as a result of the need to change conveyances and is kept in the original shipping container, a "Re-export Certificate" is not required.

6.3 INSPECTION ON ARRIVAL IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand MAF will check the accompanying documentation on arrival to confirm that it is correct and reconciles with the actual consignment.

New Zealand MAF requires, with 95% confidence, that not more than 0.5% of the units in a consignment are infested with visually detectable, regulated pests. To achieve this, New Zealand MAF will sample and inspect 600 units with an acceptance level of zero infested units (or equivalent), from the (homogeneous) lot.

Note:
Because the required response of regulated arthropod pests that have undergone the irradiation treatment is prevention of adult emergence or adult sterility (not mortality) a possibility exists that live (but non-viable) regulated arthropods may be present with a consignment. Refer to section 6.4 for actions undertaken on the interception/detection of pests.

6.4 BIOSECURITY/QUARANTINE DIRECTIVE

The consignment may be directed to a New Zealand MAF-approved facility for further treatment if required.

6.5 TESTING FOR REGULATED PESTS

New Zealand MAF may, on the specific request of the Chief Technical Officer, test the consignment for regulated pests.

6.6 ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN ON THE INTERCEPTION/DETECTION OF PESTS/CONTAMINANTS

In accordance with ISPM 18 Guidelines for the use of irradiation as a phytosanitary measure (section 8.3) MAF Biosecurity New Zealand does not consider the detection of arthropods at import inspection to indicate treatment failure unless there is other evidence to show that the integrity of the treatment system is inadequate.

If live arthropods are detected the following actions will be undertaken:

• arthropods listed on the regulated papaya pest list (appendix 1)
  - no action but MAF Biosecurity New Zealand reserves the right for analyses to be conducted on the surviving pest to verify treatment efficacy.
• arthropods not listed on the regulated papaya pest list but determined to be regulated
  - no action if the irradiation treatment is deemed to be effective on these pests.
  - action if there is insufficient data on efficacy or the treatment is not known to be effective.
• Non-regulated arthropods
  - no action

If regulated pests, extraneous plant material or trash are intercepted/detected with the commodity, or associated packaging, the following actions will be undertaken as appropriate (depending on the pest identified):

• Re-sorting (specific conditions apply) of the consignment
• Reshipment of the consignment
• Destruction of the consignment
• Treatment for those pests where an efficacious treatment is available
• The suspension of trade on the detection of high impact pests for which specific pre-arrival phytosanitary measures are required. Suspension of trade will continue until the cause of the non-compliance has been identified and corrective actions have been implemented to the satisfaction of MAF Biosecurity New Zealand

If an organism is intercepted/detected that is not on the pest list (appended to this document), the consignment will be held (or equivalent) until an assessment is undertaken to determine the organism’s regulatory status and appropriate measures developed if required.

Consignments that are contaminated with extraneous plant material and/or trash in the 600 unit sample will result in the consignment being held until an assessment has been made in comparison with the risk of importing the part(s) of the plant species concerned.

6.7 BIOSECURITY CLEARANCE

If viable regulated pests are not detected, or are successfully treated following interception/detection, biosecurity clearance will be given.

6.8 AUDIT OF OFFSHORE MEASURES

New Zealand MAF reserves the right to audit all processes that are undertaken offshore, including phytosanitary measures for high impact pests.

6.9 FEEDBACK ON NON-COMPLIANCE

The Australian NPPO will be informed by New Zealand MAF’s Chief Technical Officer of the interception (and treatment) of any regulated pests, "unlisted" pests, or non-compliance with measures specified in this import health standard.

7 Contingencies Following Biosecurity Clearance

Should a regulated pest be detected subsequent to biosecurity clearance, New Zealand MAF may implement a management programme (official control programme) in accordance with Part V of the Biosecurity Act 1993 and Part 5 of the Biosecurity Amendment Act 1997.
