Further to our bulletin last week, the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) has issued the following table of goods, with their tariff items, considered to be at high risk of BSMB, or ‘Stink Bugs’. Currently “high risk†goods will require offshore treatment. In the event that untreated consignments or those from an unapproved treatment provider are imported into Australia, they will be required to be re-exported or destroyed unless exceptional circumstances are granted. If you are importing goods in these categories, please talk to us.
Target high risk goods
Goods in this category will require mandatory offshore treatment for BMSB risk if they are shipped as break bulk, open top or on flat racks.
Containerised goods in this category shipped as LCL (less than container Load) and FAK (freight of all kinds) will require mandatory offshore treatment for BMSB. The option for onshore treatment is being considered for FCL (full container load) and FCX (full container consolidated).
All tariffs under the following chapters are being considered as high- risk goods.
