Consultation has concluded

We have finalised the risk analysis for fresh apple fruit from the Pacific Northwest states of the United States of America.

It is recommended that the import of fresh apple fruit from the Pacific Northwest states of the United States of America be permitted provided it meets our biosecurity import conditions.

Twenty quarantine pests associated with apples are present in the Pacific Northwest states of the United States of America, and need risk management measures to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. A range of measures are recommended to reduce the risk of these pests arriving in Australia via the apple fruit pathway.

We released a draft deport for fresh apple fruit from the Pacific Northwest states of the United States of America on 23 October 2020, for pubic consultation. The consultation period closed on 21 January 2021.

All submissions were considered in finalising the risk analysis.

You can read the final risk analysis report as well as submissions received and our responses to stakeholder comments on the our website.
