Scope
As there are no New Zealand legislative requirements for certification of exported plant products, the technical phytosanitary requirements are determined by the importing country for plant produce being imported into their country. In this respect, ICPRs are MAF’s summary of the importing country’s legal requirements and thus forms a basis upon which export phytosanitary certification is provided.
Where an importing country operates on the basis of issuing import permits to their importers, the import permit conditions take precedence over any technical conditions contained in the MAF ICPR for that country.
This standard specifies French Polynesia’s phytosanitary import requirements for plant products being exported from New Zealand. If a commodity or commodity group is not identified within this ICPR exporters should contact:
- French Polynesia directly to ascertain requirements
or
- MAF Biosecurity New Zealand (MAFBNZ). (Plant Exports)
Please note, the determination and provision of phytosanitary requirements, for a commodity not identified within an ICPR, is undertaken on a cost recovery basis. A link to the list of Plant Exports Fees and Charges is available on http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/exports/plants/fees
Users of this document are strongly advised to review all sections of the ICPR for the determination of a commodity’s phytosanitary requirements.
Phytosanitary Legislation
The following legislation controls the importation of plants and plant materials into French Polynesia:
- Deliberation Number 93-155 of The Official Gazette of Polynesia dated 3 December 1993
- Deliberation Number 96-43 of The Official Gazette of Polynesia dated 29 February 1996
