PROTOCOL OF PHYTOSANITARY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EXPORT OF
CHERRIES FROM AUSTRALIA TO CHINA
BETWEEN
THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND
WATER RESOURCES
AND
THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF QUALITY SUPERVISION,
INSPECTION AND QUARANTINE OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CIDNA
For the purpose of safe exports of Australian cherries to China and on the basis
of the pest risk analysis, the General Administration of Quality Supervision,
Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter
referred to as AQSIQ) and the Australian Government Department of
Agriculture and Water Resources (hereinafter referred to as DA), through
friendly negotiation, have reached a consensus as follows:
Article I General Provisions
Australian cherries fruits (Prunus avium) exported to China including hybrids
(hereinafter referred to as cherries) shall comply with the relevant phytosanitary
laws, regulations and health and safety standards of China and satisfy the
phytosanitary requirements as stipulated herein, and shall be free of the
quarantine pests of concern to China (see Annex 1).
Article II A system of traceability to source orchards
DA will ensure a system is established to enable traceability back to the orchard
or block where cherries for export to Australia are sourced.
Orchards for Australian cherries exported to China will be registered with DA.
DA is responsible for ensuring that export cherry growers are aware of pests of
quarantine concern to China and control measures. DA will verify that pests are
monitored and managed and the records will be kept and provided to AQSIQ on
request.

Article III Registration of packing houses and treatment providers
Export packing houses and treatment facilities (if applicable) are to be registered
with DA. The registration lists (including orchards) shall be provided to AQSIQ
by DA prior to the export season. The registration list will be checked by
AQSIQ and published on AQSIQ website.
DA will ensure that packing houses and the registered treatment providers are
suitably equipped to carry out the specified phytosanitary activities and
treatments.
Where cherries undergo fruit treatment prior to export, this process could only
be undertaken by the treatment providers that have been registered with and
audited by DA for the purpose.
DA will inspect the package houses and treatment providers and keep the
inspection records and provide them to AQSIQ on request.
ARTICLE IV ORCHARD MANAGEMENT
All the registered export orchards will maintain orchard sanitation to manage
pests and diseases. Measures such as management of remaining fruit and
pruning at the end of the season, and implement the integrated pest management
(IPM), including pest and disease monitoring, chemical and biological control,
farm operation or other control measures will be undertaken by growers under
the supervision of DA.
All registered orchards must maintain the monitoring and control records of
pests, and should, upon request, provide such records to AQSIQ. The records of
control of pests and diseases should include the name, active ingredient,
application date, concentration and other details of all chemical agents used in
the growing season.
Article V Management of Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) and
Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni)
Cherry fruit may be exported to China utilizing either fruit fly pest free area
certification or an approved treatment.

Cherries must be sourced from a pest free area for Ceratitis capitata and
Bactrocera tryoni, recognised and approved by AQSIQ, following the
guidelines of ISPM 10 and ISPM 26.
All fruit flies of quarantine concern are absent from the fruit fly pest free areas
of Tasmania and the Riverland region of South Australia.
Ceratitis capitata is present in Western Australia and is known not to occur in
the rest of Australia. Bactrocera tryoni is absent from Western Australia.
Except for Bactrocera tryoni, all fruit flies of quarantine concern are absent
from the Sunraysia region of Victoria and NSW, the Riverina region of NSW,
and the Cobram region of Victoria.
If an outbreak of Ceratitis capitata or Bactrocera tryoni occurs, DA is required
to notify AQSIQ within 48 hours. National emergency action plans for
outbreaks are put in place, including undertaking a delimiting survey by setting
up additional traps. Additional traps will identify the extent of the fruit fly
outbreak and will determine the site of the outbreak, the surrounding area, and
the buffer area. Fruit sampling is also conducted. Export of cherries from
outbreak areas must be suspended or undergo disinfestation treatment
recognised and approved by AQSIQ.
OR
Cherries sourced from outside the recognised fruit fly (C. capitata, and B.
tryom) pest free areas, or where the area freedom status has been suspended,
shall undergo disinfestation treatments recognised and approved by AQSIQ.
Cold treatment:
• Pulp temperature of 1 °C or below for 16 days or more
• Pulp temperature of2.1 °C or below for 21days or more
Under the supervision of DA officers or personnel authorised by DA, the cold
treatment can be carried out in accordance with Pre-export Cold Treatment
Procedures (see Annex 2) or In-transit Cold Treatment Procedures (see Annex
3).
If cold treatment is conducted pre-shipment, the treatment rate shall be noted in
the treatment section of the Phytosanitary Certificate. If cold treatment is
conducted in-transit, this will be noted as an additional declaration on the

phytosanitary certificate.
OR
Methyl bromide fumigation:
• 40 grams m-3 for two hours at pulp temperature of 17.2 °C or greater at
less than 21% chamber load.
The treatment rate shall be noted in the treatment section of the Phytosanitary
Certificate.
Cherries sourced from where Bactrocera tryoni is present shall undergo the
following disinfestation treatments recognised and approved by AQSIQ:
Cold treatment:
• Pulp temperature of 3 °C or below for 18 days or more.
The treatment rate shall be noted in the treatment section of the Phytosanitary
Certificate.
Under the supervision of DA officers or personnel authorised by DA, the cold
treatment can be carried out in accordance with Pre-export Cold Treatment
Procedures (see Annex 2) or In-transit Cold Treatment Procedures (see Annex
3).
If cold treatment is conducted pre-shipment, the treatment rate shall be noted in
the treatment section of the Phytosanitary Certificate. If cold treatment is
conducted in-transit, this will be noted as an additional declaration on the
phytosanitary certificate.
AQSIQ will consider alternative measures proposed by Australia that are
supported by evidence of efficacy.
