New Zealand Issues Import Health Standard for Fresh Table Grapes
On March 16, 2026, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) of New Zealand issued the Import Health Standard for Fresh Table Grapes (Vitis spp.), applicable to fresh grapes for human consumption, including Vitis vinifera, Vitis labrusca, and their hybrids. This standard replaces previous country-specific import health standards for Australia, Chile, Italy, Mexico, the United States (California), Peru, China, and South Korea, thereby unifying the regulatory framework.
