From the 28th of June 2019, the department is fully transitioning avocados from New Zealand to the Compliance-Based Inspection Scheme (CBIS) dashboard to the CBIS Q-ruler to achieve full system automation.

In order to support this change you will now be required to lodge consignments imported under the Offshore Pre-shipment Inspection program (OPI) with the following AQIS Commodity Code (ACC):

NZ avocado consignments that have been imported under the Offshore Pre-shipment Inspection (OPI) program must use the ACC code: OPIN

For avocados being processed under CBIS, that have not been inspected prior to shipment, an ACC code is NOT required.

Please note that for consignments eligible for the CBIS, the number of consecutive compliant consignments required to qualify for monitoring mode or risk-based intervention, will remain unchanged.
