BMSB fumigation turnaround times

Be prepared, be ready

Who does this notice affect?

Importers and Freight Forwarders

Dear Valued Clients,

We are currently executing BMSB fumigations within 24 hours of arrival. Unfortunately, the department is taking up to three days to process ledgers and issues releases. It is important that these releases are followed up regularly, as space is limited.
 
Bonded Fumigations/4.7 Secure Unpacks/Heat Treatment/BMSB Verification/CCV are all executed at Baker street (N2416). Please ensure that directions reflect this.
 
Pre-Alerts
To facilitate processing please ensure that all pre-alerts are sent to us well in advance of cargo arriving.
 
Bear in mind that the department will be reduced in capacity and unavailable to process any cargo from the 23rd December through to the 2nd January. While we will do our best to process cargo, if you have a priority shipment please either contact Anthony or me to assist.
 
We will be monitoring the necessary cargo over the festive season including public holidays.
 
Container Detention:
Due to the amount of containers we are processing for unpack and fumigation throughout this BSMB season, we recommend you contact the respective shipping line(s) and request an extension on free days, to alleviate any container detention. As this is out of our control we will not be accepting any detention charges during this period.
Look forward to speaking to you all over the course of next year.

Regards,
Kevin Malouf
