Where a 'new organism' as defined by HSNO is known to be, or inevitably will be, present in imported goods, importation requires both biosecurity clearance under the Biosecurity Act 1993 and prior approval under HSNO; s28(1) BSA and s25 HSNO must be read and applied to prevent bypassing the HSNO approval regime and to vest responsibility for approving new organisms in ERMA.
