35669 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: What bilateral arrangements have been proposed or agreed with Chile, Mexico, Morocco, Peru and the USA, regarding the IHS for Fresh Blueberries for Human Consumption?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: The import health standard (IHS) has not been issued and so it would be premature to develop bilateral arrangements with any other country. These discussions would take place following the IHS being issued.
