As the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) season of 2024–2025 draws near, Australian importers need to be ready with revised biosecurity protocols. Agriculture is seriously threatened by the BMSB, which is why the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (DAFF) is tightening rules.
• Target Risk Countries: Verify compliance if your commodities originate or travel through any of the recently updated high-risk nations, such as Italy, Germany, and the United States.
• High-Risk Goods: Certain agricultural items, machinery, and automobiles must undergo obligatory treatment in order to be imported into Australia.
• Approved Treatments: Verify that items are treated with heat, cold, or fumigation by DAFF-approved companies and that all necessary paperwork is in order.
• Containerized Cargo: Make sure containers are packed to code and be ready for any inspections or onshore procedures.
