Import plant quarantine requirements of sweet orange and lemon fresh fruits from Australia

I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Items and production areas subject to the requirements Sweet Oranges (Citrus sinensis) and lemons should be produced in Australia, where the

Australian DAWRGovernment Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) designated as the exporting production areas and conducted pest control thoroughly after discussing with the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency of Korea (QIA).

2. Export orchards and field inspection 2.1. The export orchards located within the export production areas should undergo the routine field

inspection and be managed effectively to maintain freedom from regulated pests of Korea (Attachment).

2.2. DAWR should provide the Korean preclearance inspector with the results of routine field

inspection when he or she arrives in Australia. 2.3. After reviewing the routine field inspection results, Korean preclearance inspector may check the

status of the exporting orchards. 2.4. In the event that any of the four diseases of concern to Korea(Mycosphaerella citri, Phytophthora

citricola, Phytophthora hibernalis, Septoria citri) is detected in any export orchard during the DAWR's routine field inspection or the Korean preclearance inspector' check, the fruit produced from the orchard cannot be exported to Korea.

2.5. In the event that any of the four diseases of concern to Korea(Mycosphaerella citri, Phytophthora

citricola, Phytophthora hibernalis, Septoria citri) is detected on export fruit, DAWR must be able to trace-back to the offending grower/s.

2.6. The offending grower/s will be suspended for the remainder of the season. If the grower/s are

subsequently cleared they will be permitted to resume sending citrus to Korea. 3. Request for Preclearance Inspection 3.1. DAWR's request for preclearance inspection, in writing, should be arrived to QIA in advance 30

days before Korean inspector's departure. The request should contain the following information. - The period of preclearance inspection - The expected export volume or weight - The locations of cold treatment facilities(for on-land treatment) or inspection site and storage

places(for in-transit treatment)
