Changes
Removal of the security declaration requirement for purity tested seed from all countries
Effective from 3 June 2022The conditions for purity tested seed have been updated to remove the requirement for a supplier’s security declaration.
The department has determined that commercial seed handling practices and the phytosanitary security requirements of an exporting country are sufficient for maintaining consignment integrity and preventing contamination after testing.
No other changes have been made to import conditions.
Note:
All other BICON cases containing this declaration will be amended soon. Relevant import permits will also be amended at no cost to the permit holder. Permit holders will be notified prior to the amendment.
Who does this notice affect:
Importers of purity tested seeds, brokers and department staff.
