Update on the changes to tomato commodity codes

IPAFFS is currently undergoing an update to reflect the changes to tomato commodity codes that were due to be implemented from 1 January 2025. 

Until this update is complete, you will need to continue using the old commodity codes on IPAFFS. 

However, the CDS application must use the new codes that are valid from 1 January 2025 

Please see the tables below to highlight which codes should be used for each application and when. 

This will not cause issues with clearance, as long as the CHED references have been inputted correctly into the CDS entry.  Further information on ensuring the CHED reference is correct can be found on the Plant Health Portal. 

We will provide an update as soon as the new commodity codes have been implemented in IPAFFS.
