Seasonal Measures for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB)

BMSB seasonal measures will apply to targeted goods manufactured in or shipped from target risk countries, that have been shipped between 1 September 2025 and 30 April 2026 (inclusive), and to vessels that berth, load, or tranship from target risk countries within the same period.

Note: The shipped on board date, as indicated on the Ocean Bill of Lading, is the date used to determine when goods have been shipped. "Gate in" dates and times will not be accepted to determine when goods are shipped.

» BMSB Measures for goods:

• If your goods are classed as target high risk, they will require mandatory treatment.
• If your goods are classed as target risk, they will be subject to random inspection.
• If your goods are not found in either category, they are not subject to BMSB measures, however, will be subject to the measures if packed with target high risk or risk goods.

Goods shipped in iso-tanks and as bulk-in-holds of cargo vessels are not subject to the measures.

» Treatment of target high risk goods:

• Target high risk goods treated in target risk countries must be treated by a treatment provider listed as 'approved' on the List of treatment providers.
• Treatment certificates from target risk countries will not be accepted from unregistered treatment providers or treatment providers listed as 'suspended', 'withdrawn' or 'under review' on the List of Treatment Providers.

- Containerized goods will be directed for onshore treatment.
- Break bulk will be directed for export.

» Management of LCL/FAK containers

LCL and FAK containers with target high risk goods that are shipped from target risk countries between 1 September and 30 April (inclusive) are managed at the container level for BMSB risk prior to deconsolidation. Once the container risk has been managed for BMSB, the individual consignments within these containers will be processed at the Full Import Declaration (FID) level for all other biosecurity intervention (if applicable).

LCL / FAK containers that are subject to BMSB measures will be identified by a Seasonal Pest Referral (SPREF) on the house bill of lading. When the cargo report is lodged, they will be referred for a Seasonal Pest hold (SP HOLD), and the cargo reporter will receive a message that a Master Consolidator (MC) declaration is required to be submitted.

Containers identified with a SPHOLD are required to have a MC declaration submitted declaring the BMSB risk status of the container. It is recommended to lodge the MC declaration prior to the vessel's arrival in the first port of Australia.

See the Management of LCL/FAK containers web page for more details.

» Target Risk Countries

The following countries have been identified as emerging risk countries for the -BMSB risk season and may be selected for a random onshore inspection:

• Random inspections will apply to goods shipped from United Kingdom, China, Japan and Republic of Korea between 1 September to 30 April (inclusive).
• In addition to the target high risk goods, chapters 39, 94 and 95 will be subject to random inspections for emerging risk countries only.
