Frequently Asked Questions About Fumigation Services in Melbourne
Container fumigation is the treatment of shipping containers with approved fumigants – such as methyl bromide or sulfuryl fluoride to eliminate biosecurity risks. In Australia, container fumigation is required when DAFF identifies biosecurity risks on imported goods or from high-risk countries. Melbourne Fumigation performs all treatments under DAFF Class 12.1 and 12.2 approved arrangement protocols.
The duration of a fumigation is dependent on multiple factors. Some treatments may require an exposure period of 12, 24 or 48 hours. Depending on commodity, the dose rate and
BMSB stands for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, an invasive pest that poses a serious biosecurity threat to Australian agriculture. BMSB is not established in Australia, and DAFF enforces strict seasonal measures (1 September to 30 April) requiring mandatory treatment of targeted goods from designated risk countries. Melbourne Fumigation’s BMSB treatment service uses methyl bromide fumigation in accordance with DAFF’s directed treatment conditions.
Melbourne Fumigation holds a DAWE Class 12.1 Methyl Bromide and 12.2 Sulfuryl Fluoride approved arrangement, allowing the company to perform fumigation treatments under DAFF oversight. Melbourne Fumigation is also AFAS (Australian Fumigation Accreditation Scheme) accredited, which is required for providers performing biosecurity treatments on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
B.I.E.R.S (Biosecurity Import Export Reporting System) is an online system designed for processing biosecurity import entries and treatment records. B.I.E.R.S integrates directly with DAFF meaning that treatments performed through the portal will give live updates to DAFF of date, time, readings, and results. This allows for faster biosecurity clearance and faster delivery of goods for importers.
