Who does this notice affect?
Importers, suppliers and brokers of:
- Fresh persimmons from New Zealand only.
What has changed?
As part of enhancing the Compliance Based Intervention Scheme (CBIS), the department is implementing a trial to count compliance and apply intervention rates based on the combination of importer–supplier. The trial applies to fresh persimmons from New Zealand only. The trial differs from the current implementation of CBIS on fresh persimmons which counts compliance and applies rates based on importer only. The department anticipates minimal impact on industry as eligibility and lodgement requirements will be the same as is currently in place for the importer-only implementation of CBIS.
As part of scoping the importer-supplier trial, the department also conducted a review of the CBIS intervention rates on fresh persimmons from New Zealand. Following this review, the department is also reducing the rates for fresh persimmons from New Zealand only, due to high levels of compliance with the import conditions.

These changes are scheduled to take effect on 16 May 2022.
