Import Health Standard: Personal Consignments of Products for Human Consumption and Personal Effects (Draft). Language(s): English. Number of pages: 20

The Import Health Standard manages the biosecurity risk of personal consignments of products human consumption and personal effects across all import pathways (accompanied and unaccompanied, air, sea, mail). The Standard manages personal consignments of fresh produce (fruit and vegetables), stored plant products, and personal effects (bags, clothing, tents, shoes, sports equipment, furnishings sent to New Zealand).

Personal consignments of products for human consumption will be defined by an overall total combined weight of 40kg, and individual plant product limit of 2kg. All personal consignments will be required to be free from regulated pests and biosecurity contamination, and personal effects will need to be "cleaned" prior to arrival.
