Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) wish to advise that the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (the department) has issued an Industry Advice Notice 97-2021 dealing with a change to the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme.
Barcan Ilaclama Fumigasyon LTD.STI. (AEI: TR4024SB) is listed as unacceptable on the Offshore Methyl Bromide Treatment Provider List and is therefore suspended from the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme.
The company will be listed as 'suspended' on the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme's List of BMSB Treatment Providers. The company may no longer perform BMSB treatments on Australian and New Zealand bound consignments. Any consignments treated by Barcan Ilaclama Fumigasyon LTD.STI. (AEI: TR4024SB) must be re-treated or exported on arrival in Australia. This decision is effective immediately and no allowance is made for goods in transit.
The date of the suspension is published on the Summary of recent changes to the list of offshore BMSB treatment providers webpage. As per the department's in-transit policy, all treatment certification issued by the treatment provider will be considered unacceptable from the date of the suspension, regardless of the treatment/issue date on the treatment certificate. This includes certification issued both before and after the change in their status.
Further detail on how different consignment types treated by a suspended treatment provider will be managed on arrival in Australia is provided on the Preparing to import goods during the 2020-21 BMSB season webpage.
