About approved facilities
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) approves offshore facilities to complete some (or all) of the inspection and testing requirements normally done in post-entry quarantine in New Zealand.
Approving offshore facilities may mean plant germplasm imports require a lower level of post-entry quarantine in New Zealand for a shorter duration.
Importing from approved offshore facilities usually means importers have access to new plant germplasm more quickly and at lower cost.
MPI-approved offshore facilities will be approved to the Standard for Offshore Facilities Holding and Testing Plants for Planting.
