DAFF Heat Treatment – Australia

The Australia Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has given Autoterminal Japan the approval to conduct Heat treatment to vehicles in Japan bound for Australia.

As a registered offshore BMSB treatment provider, it is Autoterminal Japan’s obligation to conduct and record treatments consistent with the regulations and methodologies set by DAFF.

Autoterminal complies with the requirements of DAFF when conducting and documenting BMSB treatments.

Container Number/s
ATJ ensures that the correct container number/s is reflected in all BMSB treatment certificates being issued. In cases where the container number is not available, ATJ uses an alternative consignment link.
AEI
ATJ sees to it that our AEI (entity identifier) is clearly included in the BMSB treatment certificate.
Providing treatment details and certificates
A copy of each BMSB treatment certificate issued will be submitted to DAFF for verification.
Records of treatment and certificates
Using the templates provided by DAFF, we keep complete and accurate records of the BMSB treatment we conduct and certificates we issue.
2018/19 BMSB season treatment requirements
Heat Treatment: ATJ makes sure to conduct BSMB heat treatments in line with the sections of the heat treatment methodology set by DAFF.
Finalised 2018/19 BMSB season treatment rates
We provide different treatment options. You can find more details about these treatments and the prices at www.agriculture.gov.au/import/before/pests/brown-marmorated-stink-bugs.
Conducting concurrent BMSB and commodity risk treatments
Autoterminal Japan may conduct a single treatment for both commodity and BMSB risks, if the commodity requires it. The treatment will have to be done at a higher rate to meet the requirements of both treatments.
120-hour post-treatment window and other export scenarios
In some cases where vehicles units are transhipped to non-target countries for export, or transit through risk-countries, the 120-hour post-treatment window is applied, where the goods may have to undergo offshore treatment. More details about the 120-hour post-treatment window can be read at www.agriculture.gov.au/import/before/pests/brown-marmorated-stink-bugs/prepare-import.

FIJI Biosecurity

The Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF) has given Autoterminal Japan the provisional approval to be a BAF Approved Used Vehicle System in Japan.

フィジー（バイオセキュリティ機関：BAF）

The provisional approval given to ATJ is based on the Standard Operating System shared with BAF and recognition of an Equivalence- approval granted by NZMPI (New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industry).

With this approval, Autoterminal Japan is expected to:

  • operate in compliance with the agreed SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) of BAF, in alignment with the BIS for all new and used vehicles, vessels, conveyances and farm machinery imported to Fiji
  • appropriate risk management measures implemented to prevent contamination post treatment.
  • ensure that the exported vehicles are clean and biosecurity contaminant-free upon arrival in Fiji.
  • handle transit vehicles as per the BIS or in accordance with the SOP.

Autoterminal Japan will conduct treatment of all new and used vehicles, vessels, conveyances and farm machinery exported to Fiji, and endorse the treatment certificate to the BAF for border clearance.
