Pest Inspection, Biosecurity & Contamination Assessment
Our Expertise / Pest Inspection, Biosecurity & Contamination Assessment
We provide expert assessment of pest-related damage to cargo across agricultural commodities, horticultural products, fresh produce, and temperature-controlled goods, including marine cargo and storage environments. Our services include the identification and classification of infestations, evaluation of the extent and impact on quality and usability, and determination of whether contamination has occurred. We carry out detailed analysis of the cause of loss, distinguishing pest damage from other factors such as temperature deviation, poor handling, or storage conditions, and establish whether infestation occurred pre-shipment or during transit. We also assess biosecurity and phytosanitary risks associated with cargo movement and deliver clear, evidence-based reporting to support insurance claims, liability determination, and dispute resolution.
