BMSB season is officially underway, and this year Biosecurity New Zealand is taking a closer look at Italian ceramics and tiles, containers treated offshore, and goods from Uzbekistan and the UK.

With cargo lines flagged for MPI checks up more than 20% on last year, TF operators and AP are carrying more of the load.

We've pulled the key changes for importers, freight forwarders and Transitional Facilities from the October issue of The BorderSpace, including what your team should be looking for this season.👇

BMSB season is here. See what's changed for container imports, why more cargo is being flagged for MPI checks, and which pests importers should watch for. If there's only one field, use the

Congratulations to Pranay Singh of Toll Group Global Forwarding, winner of the 2026 CBAFF Generation Future Award. 🏆

Our CEO, Sam Cooper, was proud to judge this year's award, alongside Hayden Travers (also pictured) of Star Personnel Ltd and Glenn Turner of Sneddens Global Logistics.

Pranay has a law and commerce degree, but he chose freight over law. While still at university, he built and sold a distribution business operating across New Zealand and Fiji. Since joining Toll, he has led a major customer pitch in Sydney and presented Toll New Zealand's capabilities to global leadership. Both are jobs usually given to people much more senior.

The panel was impressed by his curiosity, his work ethic, and how well he builds relationships. His story also shows how much good mentoring matters.

It's great to see talent like this coming through New Zealand's supply chain!

Every shipment that crosses our border comes with compliance requirements attached, and getting them right protects your business from costly delays and fines.

That's where having the right support in your corner makes the difference. We can help with that! 🙌

Importing a helicopter is nothing like importing a container of stock. Auckland-based Dynamic Logistics needed a partner who could take on compliance and inspection without getting between them and their customer.

Biosecurity has never tasted so good! 🤤 For our staff morning tea yesterday, Marcie and Jo (with some help from Meeia and Bailey) handmade a selection of food inspired by biosecurity contamination.

It was a fun way to get the team talking about the pests, seeds, soil, and other unwanted contaminants we work hard to keep out of our beautiful country.

Activities like this are a great team-building exercise, but they can also help Transitional Facilities meet their annual biosecurity awareness training requirements under TFGEN. Turning what can be a routine requirement into something memorable and engaging.

If your team’s annual biosecurity awareness training is coming up, we can help make it practical, relevant and fun. Think creative team activities like this or customised gamified training where participants compete to solve real biosecurity challenges.

We can build something around your site and the risks your team actually faces.
