MPI (Bio-security) Inspection (in compliance with IHS Standard issued by MPIBNZ)
Some countries (e.g. New Zealand, Australia, Canada) consider used motor vehicles as
bio-security and quarantine risks. This is because used vehicles could potentially
become a carrier of insurgents such as insects, pests or items that could be harmful
to a country's farming or agriculture sector.
Accordingly, stringent measures have been imposed by these importing countries to
ensure that all external contamination and risk material are removed from the vehicles
at the port of origin in compliance with a country's import health regulatory
requirements.
ATJ, as an appointed authority of MPI, recently had its systems of equivalence
approved allowing it to provide "cleaned" vehicles for export without the supervision
of MPI inspectors. ATJ was the first to receive such an achievement demonstrating its
depth in its commitment to protecting its processes and values.
