Biosecurity, Freight Forwarding & Customs Broker Training

At IVS, we are committed to seeing New Zealand businesses succeed through the right biosecurity educational training, endorsed by our position as New Zealand’s leading MAF transitional facility training provider.

Biosecurity Training

New Zealand importers must operate a MAF-approved transitional facility to receive, inspect and unpack imported sea containers under the Transitional Facility General (TF-GEN) Standard. All MAF-approved transitional facilities must have trained and certified personnel who manage or undertake the different aspects of biosecurity.
