Australia’s 2026–27 Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) season is now underway, making it a good time for importers to check requirements before their cargo leaves origin.
The seasonal measures apply to certain goods shipped from designated risk countries between 1 September 2026 and 30 April 2027.
For Australian businesses importing machinery, equipment, parts and other targeted goods, early preparation can make the process much easier.
Importers should check whether their commodity and country of origin fall within the BMSB requirements and whether treatment is required before shipment.
Where treatment is required, arranging it at origin can help businesses plan their freight and Australian arrival process more efficiently. Correct treatment certificates and shipping documents should also be available before the cargo arrives.
The key is simple: check the requirements before you ship.
With the right preparation, businesses can continue importing during the BMSB season with confidence and keep their supply chains moving.
