🛡️ National Biosecurity Week | Protecting What We Value 🛡️
This National Biosecurity Week, we're recognising the vital role biosecurity plays in protecting Australia’s environment, food supply, economy and way of life.
For those of us in the supply chain, biosecurity is something we see and manage every day - and with Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) season commencing 1 September, it’s an important time for importers to be prepared. 🪲
BMSB remains a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, with seasonal measures applying to certain goods manufactured in or shipped from target risk countries between 1 September and 30 April.
At EES Shipping, we work closely with our clients, customs brokers, transport providers and overseas partners to help ensure goods move safely, compliantly and efficiently across borders.
As BMSB season approaches, now is the perfect time to:
📦 Review upcoming shipments
🌏 Check country of origin and BMSB requirements
🛡️ Confirm treatment arrangements where required
⏰ Plan ahead to help minimise unnecessary delays and costs
Biosecurity isn't just the responsibility of government - it's a shared responsibility across the entire supply chain. Every shipment, every check and every precaution helps protect what matters most.
🚨 REMINDER: BMSB SEASON STARTS 1 SEPTEMBER! 🚨
If you have upcoming imports that may be affected, now is the time to check your requirements and make sure you're prepared.
Need help navigating BMSB season? Our EES Shipping team is here to help. 🚢📦
