Notice - Notification of WTO Members: Import health standard: Grain and Seeds for Consumption, Feed or Processing


WTO code G/SPS/N/NZL/743
Date notice 19/09/2023
Notice type Regular
Title Import health standard: Grain and Seeds for Consumption, Feed or Processing
Summary

This notification relates to a minor amendment to the import health standard: Grain and Seeds for Consumption, Feed or Processing. The amendment involves adding requirements for the importation of Glycine max seeds for sprouting into the Standard, which is currently governed by a Chief Technical Officer (CTO) Direction. This amendment incorporates the conditions outlined in the CTO decision document and does not include any other changes to the requirements of the Standard. Imports have been carried out under this CTO for many years, so the integration of this CTO direction into the Standard does not materially change the commodities being imported. The objective of this change is to reduce confusion and delays at the border and enhance the accessibility of these requirements for all importers and MPI border personnel.
