CMA CGM informs that in response to the rapid expansion of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) throughout Europe and North America, Australia authorities have issued guidelines and instructions for the 2024/2025 high risk season (September 1st, 2024 to April 30th, 2025) to prevent infestations.

As with previous BMSB risk seasons, it is the responsibility of the customer with cargo subject to these restrictions to meet treatment and certification/reporting requirements for their cargo, categorized as either target high risk or target risk goods.
