Annex

Any consignments shipped under in-transit cold treatment must meet the guidelines set out for in-transit cold treatment and the department will undertake a verification of in-transit cold treatment on arrival to Australian territory, prior to inspection.

Any shipments that haven’t completed in-transit cold treatment (due to insufficient duration or temperatures) will be given the option of continuation of cold treatment, recommencement (seals intact only) and completion within a 23 day period, or export or disposal. Failed shipments that cannot recommence and complete cold treatment seals intact without opening the container are subject to export or disposal.
