BMSB UPDATE 4 - Treatment methodologies and Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme
Saturday, August 4, 2018
As outlined in
Import Industry Advice Notice (77-2018),
the draft measures for the 2018-19 BMSB measures have been published on the
BMSB webpage
.
Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) has received advice from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources that this will continue to be updated as they refine and finalise the measures.
Further advice was received last night (Friday 3 August 2018) that the department has now updated the webpage to include the
BMSB treatment methodologies
and recently approved offshore treatment providers for the
Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme
.
Please note this list is current as per the date on the webpage and will be updated as the department adds more approved treatment providers.
If there are treatment providers that you are aware of or those who intend to conduct offshore BMSB treatments, please inform them of the application process for the
Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme
.
More updates to the
BMSB webpage
will be made early next week, including finalisation of the target countries, target high risk and risk goods, refining of details around the offshore and onshore treatment requirements, and scenarios from queries that the department has been receiving from industry.
We also understand that the department is preparing for industry sessions (either face-to-face or webinars or a combination of both) for the week commencing 13 August 2018 and will provide these details soon.
