Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 July 2018, amend the Biosecurity (Costs) Regulations 2010. The amendments remove the different biosecurity inspection costs that applied to animals and animal materials imported from Switzerland or a country that is a member of the European Community. The costs for those inspections are now the same as the costs for inspections of imports from any other country.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
Date of notification in Gazette: 31 May 2018.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
