Khapra Beetle Measures Update - Phases 4 & 5

On 28 April 2022, import conditions for a wide range of “other-risk plant products” (Phase 4) and “seeds for sowing” (Phase 5) exported from all countries will change. 

Under the urgent actions, other-risk plant products and seeds for sewing exported on or after 28 April 2022 from any country must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration. 

The list of other-risk plant products include seeds, nuts, green coffee beans, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices.  The complete list of “other-risk plant products” can be found at https://bit.ly/3CJPUvb.

Failure to comply with the new requirements may result in the export of the goods and/or the container on arrival in Australia.
