    FAQs

    What is BMSB fumigation, and why is it required for exports to Australia and New Zealand?

    Fumigation is a treatment process targeting the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug for your Australia-bound cargo. Australia and New Zealand have strict biosecurity regulations to prevent invasive species from entering their ecosystems. Certain goods—such as wooden packaging, used machinery and vehicles, and specific cargo types—must be fumigated before export to comply with these regulations. 

    Which cargo requires fumigation for export to Australia/New Zealand?

    Goods that typically require BMSB fumigation include: 

  • Wooden packaging materials such as pallets, crates, and dunnage
  • Used machinery and vehicles with potential pest habitats
  • Containers flagged by biosecurity authorities as requiring treatment due to high risk of pest infestation

     If you're unsure whether your cargo requires fumigation, our team can assess your shipment and provide advice based on current regulations.

    • Can MSC assist with export documentation for your container/cargo?

    Yes! MSC offers a comprehensive export documentation service, ensuring that all necessary paperwork—including fumigation certificates—is correctly prepared and submitted. Our team streamlines the process to prevent delays and ensure compliance with Australian and New Zealand regulations.
