Blueberry Vaccinium tissue culture

Risk Management Proposal: Revision of the level of post entry quarantine (PEQ) for blueberry (Vaccinium spp. excluding V. macrocarpon) imported as tissue culture from non-accredited facilities under the Import Health Standard (IHS) 155.02.06: Importation of Nursery Stock.

The risk management proposal describes in detail a proposed revision of the Vaccinium schedule of the import health standard (IHS) 155.02.06: Importation of Nursery Stock and can be viewed at the following link: https://mpigovtnz.cwp.govt.nz/....

The proposed revision will add an additional option to the IHS which will allow Vaccinium tissue cultures from non-accredited facilities to undergo post entry quarantine in a Level 3A greenhouse. This will be in addition to the existing option for quarantine in a Level 3B greenhouse.
