MPI/Industry Cargo Consultative Committee

The MPI/Industry Cargo Consultative Committee (MICCC) is the principal advisory forum for the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and the cargo handling and importing industry to consult on all operational issues arising from the management of New Zealand's Cargo Clearance and Seaport Biosecurity Strategy.
