Plant Exports: Pre-Clearance Programmes
Production and Handling Site Identification Numbers (PHSIN)
USDA Pipfruit
A work plan has been developed which specifies the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) pre-export inspection requirements for pipfruit (apples, pears and nashi) exported from New Zealand for the USA.
The work plan gives generic requirements and working procedures for all parties involved in the pre-clearance programme. When the requirements of the work plan are met, USDA inspected, passed and clearly identified pipfruit will receive early release on arrival in the USA.

Pre-clearance Requirements to Australia
Pre-clearance programmes allow conditional export to Australia without product inspection by The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) on arrival.
Work Plans approved by both Biosecurity New Zealand and AQIS have been developed to specify the operational and procedural requirements needed to participate in these programmes.
