The government partially accepts this recommendation. As communicated on 9 March, it is our intent that the new SPS Agreement will take effect in mid-2027. We have been listening to businesses. We know that some businesses require longer to adjust to the new arrangements and will continue to work with them to ensure a smooth transition. As negotiations progress, we will continue to work closely with affected sectors, port health authorities and local authorities to plan for any changes. We are committed to providing clear, timely information on next steps so that organisations can prepare effectively. Starting in May, we will provide more detailed guidance for businesses.
