MAF Biosecurity New
Zealand (MAFBNZ) has issued a minor amendment to the Hordeum
and Triticum schedules within the import health standard:
155.02.05 Importation of Seed for Sowing. This import health
standard is dated 7 May 2009. The revised import health standard
is available on the MAFBNZ website:
http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/files/ihs/155-02-05.pdf
Amendments to the Hordeum and Triticum Schedules
No significant changes have been made to the import
requirements.
Amendments to these schedules provide further clarification of
the options available for importing seeds. Seeds must be either
sourced from a “Pest free area” free from Tilletia controversa
(and Tilletia indica for Triticum), or they must be sourced from
a “Pest free place of production” free from Tilletia controversa
and fungicide treated, or sampled and tested for Tilletia
controversa and fungicide treated.
Please also remember to refresh the browser when you open the
IHS PDF page.

standard can be directed to: Plant Imports
