To prevent introduction into these countries the Australia Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry requires that all cargos shipped to Australia and NZ between September 1st and April 30th yearly must be treated by an approved overseas BMSB treatment provider. it is imperative to have an approved and experienced company performing these treatments.
