PHYTOSANITARY REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORTATION OF FRESH TABLE
GRAPES (Vitis vinifera) IMPORTED FROM AUSTRALIA INTO VIETNAM
This phytosanitary requirement is developed by the Plant Protection Department (PPD), Ministry
of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam. Based on results of the Pest Risk Analysis
(PRA) report on importation of fresh grape fruits (Vitis vinifera) from Australia into Vietnam and
PRA report for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) following pest is concluded as
quarantine pest associated with fresh table grape fruits imported from Australia into Vietnam in
Attachment 1.

6. Management Measures for Fruit Flies
6.1. Fruit flies pest free area
Table grapes originating from areas recognised as being free from Mediterranean fruit fly
(Ceratitis capitata) and Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni), which complies with
International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 4 and 26 are not required to undergo
mandatory disinfestation treatment. The department will notify PPD should outbreaks of
Mediterranean fruit fly occur.
In those states / territories where these fruit flies are known occur, monitoring must be undertaken
to demonstrate fruit flies pest free places of production.
- All states and territories of Australia, except Western Australia, are free areas for Ceratitis
capitata;
- Tasmania and the Riverland are free areas for Bactrocera tryoni.
Thus, Tasmania and the Riverland are free areas for both two fruit flies.
6.2. Area not free from the fruit flies
Fruit originating from Australia (except Tasmania and the Riverland) must be subjected to one of
the following treatments:
6.2.1. Cold disinfestation treatment
Table grapes must be subjected to the following cold disinfestation treatment schedules. For
table grapes originating in areas where Ceratitis capitata or Bactrocera tryoni is present:

(consecutive days)
3oC or below 20 days or more
(DAWR, 2015)
OR
6.2.2. Irradiation treatment
Table grapes must be subjected to irradiation treatment at a minimum absorbed dose of 400
Gray for Hemiptera (Aspidiotus nerii Bouché; Diaspidiotus ancylus Putnam; Diaspidiotus
perniciosus (Comstock); Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret); Planococcus minor (Maskell);
Pseudococcus calceolariae (Maskell); Pseudococcus viburni Signoret) and these two fruit flies
(Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera tryoni) as per ISPM 18
OR
6.2.3. Methyl bromide fumigation treatment
