Amending import conditions for fresh willow (Salix spp.) and myrtle (Myrtus spp.) grown and exported from Israel

Certification:All consignments of willow and myrtle exported to Australia, will require a phytosanitary certificate, from 16 September 2024. This is to provide assurances of pre-export processes and management.Treatment:Consignments of fresh willow foliage, sent via airfreight or sea freight, must be treated prior to export with methyl bromide fumigation at 32g/m³ for 2 hours at 21 °C and above. This pre-shipment treatment must be certified in the treatment section of the phytosanitary certificate, from 16 September 2024.Personal consignments, imported as passenger baggage (up to six small boxes) are permitted without treatment, however, will still require phytosanitary certification.
Considering import analytics, minimal impacts are expected to trade from Israel.
