Who does this notice affect?
Stakeholders in the import and shipping industries—including vessel masters, freight forwarders, offshore treatment providers, Biosecurity Industry Participants, importers, customs brokers, principal agents and master consolidators.
What has changed?
CV. Majesty (AEI: ID0102MB) has been reinstated under the Australian Fumigation Accreditation Scheme (AFAS) and listed as ‘approved’ on the List of treatment providers.
The treatment provider listed above has now been ‘approved’ to perform methyl bromide treatments on Australian bound consignments.
The ‘approved date’ is published on the summary of recent changes in the ‘change date’ column on the offshore treatment provider website.
All treatment certification issued by the treatment provider will be considered unacceptable during the period the treatment provider was withdrawn. This also applies to goods in-transit. Only treatments performed after the status change to approved will be accepted by the department.
Consignments or goods are classified as ‘in transit’ when they have left the country of origin but have not yet been cleared through the border in Australia. Please refer to Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON) for onshore outcomes.
