Target high risk and risk
goods for 2021–22
Target high risk goods
Based on the 2020-21 season, we have made a preliminary classification for the 2021-22 season. The following tariff classifications have been categorised as target high risk goods and will require mandatory treatment for BMSB. Treatment of target high risk goods will be required. Goods shipped as breakbulk require mandatory treatment (including goods shipped in open top containers or on flat rack containers). Untreated breakbulk identified upon arrival will be denied discharge and directed for export upon arrival. Containerised cargo arriving in sealed six hard sided containers with target high risk goods can be treated offshore or onshore at container level.

Not listed goods
BMSB seasonal measures do not apply to all other goods that are not listed above and therefore are not categorised as target high risk or target risk good. However, if these goods are part of a container of consignment that contains categorised goods, they may be subject to measures. It will not be permitted to deconsolidate or remove goods prior to treatment.
Managing expected onshore delays
Importers should note that due to the policy to allow onshore treatment of containers, clearance delays at the border may arise. These delays occur due to increased volumes of cargo having to go through the computer registration system of the Australian government, as well as limited onshore capacity of storage facilities at approved arrangement sites and onshore treatment provider premises. To minimise clearance delays, the industry is encouraged to have their target high risk goods treated offshore and at container level, where possible.
