The chemical treatments listed as satisfying import requirements is not meant to imply that these products are registered or approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). This will need to be confirmed with the APVMA for the particular jurisdiction in which the treatment is planned. Uses approved by the APVMA are changing all the time and confirmation of approved uses can be made via their Pubcris database at www.apvma.gov.au. Some treatments required on imported commodities and plants, and in particular fumigation with methyl bromide, may be phytotoxic and damage, kill or render the goods unsaleable.

The identification of products as suitable treatments does not constitute an endorsement.
