Equivalence decisions and reporting

How we determine equivalence decisions

In all cases, these decisions were made:

because the goods did not meet the requirements of the relevant import health standard
because the chief technical officer (CTO) decided the biosecurity risk could be managed by the CTO direction
under section 27(1)(b)(iii) or section 27(1)(d)(iii) of the Biosecurity Act 1993

Clearance under a CTO direction may be given when an inspector is satisfied that there are no circumstances or documents associated with the goods, their importation, or the craft on which they were imported that would make it unwise to issue a clearance.
