BMSB Season 2025 - 26
Effective 1st September 2025 - 30th April 2026 (inclusive)
The BMSB (Brown Marmorated Stink Bug) season in Australia runs from September 1 to April 30 each year. During this time, additional biosecurity measures apply to sea freight from certain countries to prevent the pest from entering Australia. Goods classified as high-risk must be fumigated, usually offshore, before shipping or, in special circumstances, upon entering Australia. These rules apply based on the shipped-on-board date, not the arrival date, and help protect Australia’s agriculture from serious biosecurity threats.
We have created a downloadable file with all of the details about the measures, target risk goods / countries and treatment options.
