Brown Marmorated Stink Bug measures - Update

The Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) has announced updates to prevent the spread of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) for the upcoming season from September 2018 to April 2019.

These include the BMSB treatment methodologies and recently approved offshore treatment providers for the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme.

More updates will be made soon, including finalisation of the target countries, target high risk and risk goods, refining of details around the offshore and onshore treatment requirements, and scenario examples to assist importers and brokers before the season commences.
