Import Health Standard: Personal Consignments of Products for Human Consumption and Personal Effects (Draft):
The Import Health Standard manages the biosecurity risk of personal consignments of products human consumption and personal effects across all import pathways (accompanied and unaccompanied, air, sea, mail) . The Standard manages personal consignments of fresh produce (fruit and vegetables), stored plant products, and personal effects (bags, clothing, tents, shoes, sports equipment, furnishings sent to New Zealand) . Personal consignments of products for human consumption will be defined by an overall total combined weight of 40kg, and individual plant product limit of 2kg. All personal consignments will be required to be free from regulated pests and biosecurity contamination, and personal effects will need to be "cleaned" prior to arrival. |

Aquatic animal products for any use other than as bait or feed for aquatic animals:
The Import Health Standard: Aquatic Animal Products contains New Zealand's specific biosecurity import requirements for products derived from fish, aquatic crustaceans, aquatic molluscs, echinoderms, cnidarians, and tunicates imported from all countries for all uses other than for use as bait and feed for aquatic animals. Products that comply with the requirements of the standard will meet New Zealand's appropriate level of biosecurity protection |

Draft report for the review of biosecurity import requirements for fresh Persian lime fruit from Mexico: The draft report proposes that the importation of commercially produced fresh Persian lime (Citrus latifolia) fruit to Australia from all commercial production areas of Mexico be permitted, subject to a range of biosecurity requirements.
The draft report contains details of pests that are of biosecurity concern to Australia that are potentially associated with the importation of commercially produced fresh Persian lime fruit from Mexico, the risk assessments for the identified quarantine pests, and the proposed risk management measures to reduce biosecurity risks to an acceptable level. |

Animal Biosecurity Advice 2021-A04 - Draft assessment of a prescribed heat treatment as a risk management measure for fish and fish products for use as pet food and stockfeed:
As set out in the Biosecurity Advice 2021-A04 (https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/risk-analysis/memos), the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment initiated an assessment in response to stakeholder requests for an alternative heat treatment for fish and fish products for use as pet food and stockfeed imported into Australia. This draft assessment uses infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), the most thermo-chemical treatment-resistant aquatic animal virus, as the minimum standard for aquatic pathogen inactivation. The department has undertaken this assessment to determine if IPNV is inactivated by the proposed heat treatment. (...) The department will carefully consider all submissions before finalising the assessment of existing policy. A further Animal Biosecurity Advice will be issued following the consultation period.

Agriculture | Draft Resolution "establishing the…
Draft Resolution "establishing the conditions for the entry into the country of animals, plants and their products for which there are no sanitary and/or phytosanitary import requirements, and issuing other provisions".
The risk analysis process is a technical scientific procedure conducted in accordance with international standards to establish animal health or phytosanitary conditions or requirements for the entry of animals, plants and their products and to facilitate trade. It is therefore necessary to define and adopt new guidelines for the establishment of such requirements at the national level, which should address the current global uncertainty surrounding food insecurity, climate change and other global challenges for accessing new markets, be in line with the guidelines established by the World Trade Organization and the relevant international agreements, and take into account the technical rigour required for such processes. In light of the above, the draft Resolution, which seeks to establish the conditions for the entry into the country of animals, plants and their products for which there are no sanitary and/or phytosanitary import requirements, is being submitted. |

Pest risk management proposal for the regulation of Cydalima perspectalis in Canada.
The Risk Management Document provides an assessment of risk management options to regulate Cydalima perspectalis (Box tree moth) in Canada. Cydalima perspectalis, box tree moth (BTM), is native to East Asia and has become a serious invasive pest of Buxus spp. plants in Europe. In 2018, three moths were reported in Ontario, Canada, and pest presence was confirmed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in November that same year. (...) The risk management document includes a summary of CFIA's risk assessments on C. perspectalis and presents three pest risk management options for the pest in Canada under the authority of the Plant Protection Act: • Option 1 Status quo: No specific phytosanitary measures for C. perspectalis. • Option 2 Federal regulation of the pest: Creation of a localized regulated area in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Niagara peninsula (municipalities with positive detections in 2021) . • Option 3 Federal regulation of the pest: Creation of a regulated area for all of Ontario (recommended) .
