From 22 April 2017 importers will require a supplier’s declaration when importing genetically modified Drosophila spp.

Also, from 22 April 2017 species of Drosophila (other than Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii), will require an additional assessment to be conducted by Plant Import Operations to determine if the species can be released from Biosecurity control.
