Changes

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has made a change to the BICON case Cooked items (biscuits, breads, pastries, cakes), mooncakes, egg waffles and uncooked cheesecakes. These changes include:

• Additional advice on which import scenario to consider has been added to the landing page for the ‘not for personal use’ pathway.
• A definition of 'cooked biscuits, cooked breads, cooked pastries and cooked cakes' in the Appendices has been amended to help clarify what is meant by "shelf stable goods". A prompt to consider this definition has been added in the conditions in the relevant import scenarios.

Who does this notice affect:
Importers of cooked items (biscuits, breads, pastries, cakes), mooncakes, egg waffles and uncooked cheesecakes, Biosecurity Imports Support Team, Pathway Operations Cargo - Assessment and Inspections.
