This is my determination relating to the biosecurity policy for the importation of fresh greenhouse-grown capsicum (paprika) fruit from the Republic of Korea.
The importation of fresh greenhouse-grown capsicum (paprika) fruit from the Republic of Korea may be permitted subject to the Quarantine Act 1908 and the application of phytosanitary measures as specified in the Final Import Risk Analysis Report for Fresh Greenhouse-Grown Capsicum (Paprika) Fruit from the Republic of Korea. These measures are designed to limit quarantine risk to a level which achieves Australia's appropriate level of protection.
This policy is to be taken into account by decision makers when considering import permit applications for fresh greenhouse-grown capsicum (paprika) fruit from the Republic of Korea in accordance with the Quarantine Act 1908 and Quarantine Proclamation 1998 as amended.
