IVS Group

Did you know New Zealand has some of the strictest biosecurity laws in the world?

That means higher import and export standards, tighter processes, and less room for error.

Getting it right matters. ✅ We can help with that.👇

New Zealand's Biosecurity System Experts Processes built on precision.

Every container. Every shipment. Every check matters.
Behind the scenes, there’s a process keeping New Zealand’s imports and exports moving safely, from inspection and treatment to training and laboratory testing.

We support businesses across the country, at every stage, helping ensure compliance, reduce risk, and keep things moving.

Inspection. Treatment. Testing. Ensuring compliance for Import & Export Goods

It’s Biosecurity Awareness Month — Are Your Import Processes Biosecurity-Ready?

If your business imports, handles, or stores goods, biosecurity is your frontline defence — and the work you do is critical to protecting Aotearoa from unwanted pests and diseases.

At IVS, we go beyond training. Through our specialist inspection services, we partner with businesses to ensure biosecurity standards are met — and exceeded.

🛡 Why Biosecurity Matters
✔️ Breaches can disrupt or halt your supply chain
✔️ Invasive pests can cause serious harm to New Zealand’s native environment
✔️ One contaminated container can cost thousands in delays and compliance failures

📦 How IVS Can Help
Our experienced team delivers comprehensive inspection services, including:
✔️ BSP (Biosecurity System Partner) services for high-volume importers
✔️ MTF (Multi-Site Transitional Facility) support and inspections
✔️ Container inspections and contamination response
✔️ Facility auditing and MPI compliance support
✔️ Fast, expert response to suspected biosecurity threats

🔍 If you spot something unusual — an insect, contamination, or risk item:
📸 Photograph it
🫙 Contain it (if safe to do so)
📞 Call the Biosecurity NZ hotline: 0800 80 99 66

Together, we protect what makes New Zealand special.

Biosecurity in action!
A big shoutout to the eagle-eyed straddle driver at Lyttelton Port who recently spotted a suspicious caterpillar on a container arriving from Australia. 🚢🐛

The pest was identified as a white cedar moth (Leptocneria reducta) — common across Australia but not found in New Zealand. Not only can this moth harm native white cedar trees, but its hairs can cause allergic reactions in humans.

👏🏽 This is exactly the kind of vigilance we want to see during Biosecurity Awareness Month — and all year round! Early detection and reporting like this protect our ecosystems, our economy, and our way of life.

👀 If you see something unusual:
📸 Snap a photo
📍 Note the location
📞 Report it immediately to MPI

Every pair of eyes matters.

Looking Back on Little Heart Day at IVS ❤️

Last week, we came together to celebrate Little Heart Day, a cause dedicated to supporting children born with congenital heart conditions. With over 12 babies born each week in New Zealand with a heart defect, this day holds special meaning - especially for one of our own, whose family has been directly impacted by the amazing work of Heart Kids NZ.

To show our support, we wore red, enjoyed a shared lunch, and held a raffle fundraiser to help give back. Thanks to generous donations, we were able to raise funds for Heart Kids NZ, contributing to the vital support they provide to families navigating congenital heart disease.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated - your kindness and generosity made a real difference! 💙

Reflecting on International Forest Day at IVS 🌿

Last week, our team came together to celebrate International Forest Day. As part of our commitment to protecting New Zealand’s natural environment, we planted a Kowhai tree onsite - a small but meaningful step in giving back to our native forests.

It was fantastic to see our staff rallying around to help, with our CEO, Raewyn, leading the way, digging in (literally!) alongside the team. This initiative is a reminder that even small actions can make a difference in preserving our unique biodiversity. 🌱🌎

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved - we loved seeing the enthusiasm and teamwork in action! Let’s continue to look after our forests, one tree at a time.
