On November 19, 2020, the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) website released a revised version of the industry standards for the import and customs clearance of fresh fruits and vegetables . According to Article 24A of the 1993 Biosafety Act, it is issued as an import hygiene standard .

The new version of the standard increases the requirements for phytosanitary measures for cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) in imported fresh fruits and vegetables, that is, there should be no aphids as the vector of the virus in the production area, and imported products must not carry the virus.

The new standard takes effect from the date of issuance.
