Find an approved supplier of identification services
If pest or disease identification, or laboratory testing, is required for your imported goods you may need to arrange to have them identified by an MPI-approved supplier of identification services, normally at your cost. Post-entry quarantine samples must be sent to MPI's Plant Health and Environment Laboratory (Tamaki) for identification.
