The Emergency Measures manage the biosecurity risk of containerized cargo and containers arriving to New Zealand from Italy during the BMSB aggregating season (September 1 until April 30) until 30 April 2020. These require all sea containers from Italy, excluding those containing vehicles, machinery and equipment, to be treated for BMSB, either offshore or at the port in New Zealand. Vehicles, machinery and equipment are excluded because these commodities must already be treated offshore.
 
These Emergency Measures entered into force on September 1, 2018.
