Have your say
Biosecurity New Zealand is proposing changes to the requirements for importing mangosteen and rambutan plants for planting.
We appreciate the replies and information we got during the first consultation on the risk management proposal.
First consultation: Proposed imports of mangosteen and rambutan plants for planting
We have reviewed and considered the submissions received about the measures proposed in the first consultation. As a result, we have drafted amendments to the mangosteen and rambutan requirements in the nursery stock import health standard. An import health standard is the legislative document that specifies the requirements for importing.
We now seek your feedback on the amended requirements for plants of mangosteen and rambutan. The amended requirements are located in 2 new schedules: Garcinia and Nephelium lappaceum. Those schedules are in the draft nursery stock import health standard.
The consultation is open for submissions from 27 February 2024 until 5pm, 19 March 2024.
