The Scheme: Onshore Quarantine Fumigation Perishable Goods Scheme
The Onshore Quarantine Fumigation Perishable Goods Scheme is a Compliance Agreement that allows accredited fumigators to perform onshore quarantine fumigation treatment of perishable goods (fresh fruit and vegetables, nursery stock and fresh cut flowers, including foliage), under direction from AQIS using methyl bromide. It includes:
