02 Sep 2024 / Australia
The 2024-25 Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) Risk Season started on 1 September, with Australia adding China and the Republic of Korea to its heightened vessel surveillance list.
Further changes include:
The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry BMSB webpage has been updated to reflect the updated measures.
Treatment providers that wish to be approved under AusTreat or were registered under the BMSB scheme during the previous BMSB risk season must complete the registration and treatment application form here to commence their registration process for the upcoming BMSB risk season. All pre-border biosecurity treatment providers registered under AusTreat will be listed on the List of treatment providers.
The measures affect stakeholders in the import and shipping industries - including Master Consolidators, vessel masters, freight forwarders, treatment providers, Biosecurity Industry Participants, importers, customs brokers and principal agents - associated with shipping or importing goods that require increased intervention during the 2024-25 BMSB risk season.
The Safeguarding Arrangements Scheme (the scheme) is available for the new BMSB Season, offering an alternative clearance pathway for target high risk goods imported as sea cargo in six hard sided shipping containers during the BMSB risk season. In a key change to this season, applicants for the 2024 – 2025 BMSB season no longer need to include Australian Border Force (ABF) import data reports to support their application. Further information can be found on the Safeguarding webpage.
