| Title |
Importation of Nursery Stock 155.02.06 |
| Summary |
The Ministry for Primary Industries aims to focus resources on maintaining nursery stock import pathways that are of biggest benefit to importers and exporters. Therefore, we propose suspending import pathways for nursery stock species that have not been used for many years.
About 60% of eligible plant genera have not been imported for over 25 years. A further 13% of eligible plant genera have not been imported since 2013. As a result, the import requirements for these genera have not been maintained. Therefore, they pose biosecurity risk to New Zealand. The detail for each plant genus is in the documents linked below in section 9.
The Ministry for Primary Industries is also amending the format of the import health standard Importation of Nursery Stock 155.02.06. The format change aims to make the standard more user-friendly and will not change requirements of any open pathways. The name of the standard will also change to Plants for Planting 155.02.06 to reflect terminology used in our newer import health standards.
