The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) invites comment on whether the application to vary the registration of Vantacor Insecticide should be granted. 

We invite written comment from 24 July to 21 August 2025 on the trade implications of this proposal. 

Relevant comments will be taken into account by the APVMA in deciding whether to grant the application and in determining appropriate conditions of registration and product labelling.

The APVMA is able to consider comments relating to the legislative grounds for the assessment, which are the trade implications of the extended use of the product. The Trade Advice Notice provides a summary of the APVMA's residue and trade assessment. 

Please note: submissions will be published on the APVMA’s website, unless you have asked for the submission to remain confidential, or if the APVMA chooses at its discretion not to publish any submissions received (refer to the public consultation coversheet).

All APVMA documents are subject to the access provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 and may be required to be released under that Act should a request for access be made. Unless you request for your submission to remain confidential, the APVMA may release your submission to the applicant for comment.
