Changes

On 13 August 2022 the following changes were published to the ‘Seafood (excluding finfish) for human consumption’ BICON case:

• Several pathways have been consolidated to increase ease of navigation in BICON.
• The pathways for New Zealand oysters arriving in half shell have been consolidated. Import conditions for half shell oyster arriving in a frozen state and those for half shell oysters arriving chilled (previously frozen) are now co-located as different options in the same pathway.
• Import conditions in all pathways have been restructured and reformatted to increase ease of navigation in BICON.
• Imports are not expected to be affected. These changes are structural only and support the departments on-going commitment to the effective communication of Australia’s import conditions.

Who does this notice affect:
Importers and brokers, Pathways Operations Cargo – Assessment and Inspections, Client Contact Group
