What has changed?
Following identification of critical non-compliance, we have suspended Atilim Ilaclama Liman Hizmetleri Metal ve Urunleri Ic ve Dis Tic.Ltd.Sti (AEI: TR4003SB) on the List of treatment providers to ensure biosecurity risk is managed.
The treatment provider has been listed as 'suspended' on the List of treatment providers. The department may direct any consignments treated by Atilim Ilaclama Liman Hizmetleri Metal ve Urunleri Ic ve Dis Tic.Ltd.Sti (AEI: TR4003SB) including those in transit, for any action considered reasonable to manage the biosecurity risk posed.
All treatment certification issued by the treatment provider will be considered unacceptable from the suspension date, regardless of the treatment/issue date on the treatment certificate. This includes certification issued both before and after the change in their status.
The 'suspension' date is published on the summary of recent changes in the 'change date' column on the offshore treatment provider website.
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.
