This is my determination relating to the biosecurity policy for the importation of fresh apple fruit from the People’s Republic of China (China).
The importation of fresh apple fruit from China may be permitted subject to the Quarantine Act 1908 and the application of phytosanitary measures as specified in the Final Import Risk Analysis Report for fresh apple fruit from the People’s Republic of China. These measures are designed to limit quarantine risk to a level which achieves Australia’s appropriate level of protection.
The members of the expert panel for the import risk analysis (IRA) for apples from China met by teleconference on 22/24 March 2010.
The meeting focussed on:
Import conditions for fresh apples from China are now on the Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON), making the import of apples from China to Australia possible.
Import conditions for apple and pear budwood can be found in the department’s Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON).
