NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 8 May 2024, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of New Zealand . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Import requirements for mangosteen and rambutan plants for planting  
This is a second addendum to New Zealand's WTO notification (G/SPS/N/NZL/757) made on 
29 November 2023 on proposed import requirements for mangosteen and rambutan plants for 
planting. The notified amendment was a risk management proposal for new requiremen ts for 
importing mangosteen and rambutan plants for planting into New Zealand. It also included a new 
pest list. This addendum does not extend the scope of the previously notified regulation, nor will it 
potentially affect Members as this is a trade enabli ng amendment.  
In response to comments on our second proposal, we have adjusted one risk management measure 
as follows:  
• We have now added 'grafted plants ' as a commodity class in the import health standard. We have 
analyzed the risks of grafted mangosteen a nd rambutan plants and have added requirements for 
them (both rootstock and scion must be from the same species).  
The amended import health standard  has now been finalized .
