Fumigation Requirements - Europe to Australia / New Zealand

Note that fumigation is the responsibility of cargo interests. The requirement extends to cargo loaded in consolidated shipments as well as for full container loads. Cargo in Open Top, Flat rack or break bulk is mandatory to be fumigated at origin.

Break bulk cargo and special equipment being transshipped or transiting through affected countries will in certain cases also require fumigation. Please note it is your responsibility as customer to ensure that all required measures as outlined by the Australian Government are followed and for Break Bulk / Special cargo fumigation, certificates are lodged with our Customer Service Booking teams prior to shipments being run into the terminal.

In case you may have questions regarding applicability of the rule to your specific cargo due for shipment, please contact the relevant Department of Agriculture in Australia or the Ministry for Primary Industries in New Zealand for clarification/ruling.

We also encourage you to visit the Australia Government respectively New Zealand governmental websites directly which describe effective treatments as well as affected cargo descriptions for each country in more detail.
