On
27 May 2022, the Australian Department of Agriculture,Water
and the Environment,updated its import conditions for risk plant
products including frozen fruits, nuts, etc. : The update requires that other
risk plant products imported by certain means of arrival must now be
accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate and the following additional
declaration: An examination of representative samples has been done, finding no
evidence of any Trogoderma species (live, dead or molting) in Australia's list
of Trogoderma species of biosecurity concern. The new import conditions apply
only to other risked plant products exported from all countries on or after 28
April 2022. Other risked plant products that are not inspected prior to export
are more likely to be infected by Trogoderma pests, including Khapra beetles.
Biosafety officers may instruct goods to be returned or destroyed if they have
reasonable grounds to suspect that the level of biosafety risk associated with
a miscertified commodity is unacceptable. The regulation took effect on May 27.
