Updates to sanitary certificates for exports from Australia of meat and meat products, processed foods and inedible animal by-products such as pet food, pharmaceuticals, rendered products, wool and skins and hides |
| Summary |
Australia is updating the certificate printing system for the current Export Documentation System (EXDOC) whereby trading partners may notice minor format changes to printed health certificates such as the placement and size of information fields and crest size. Importantly, these minor format changes do not affect the agreed conditions or attestations for market access, bilaterally agreed information about the consignment details, or the department's regulatory controls over exports. EXDOC certificates for meat and meat products, processed foods and inedible animal by-products such as pet food, pharmaceuticals, rendered products, wool and skins and hides will be produced using the updated printing system commencing from 1 October 2024. There will be a transition period where both the old and new certificates will be in use to allow for transit time (air and sea freight) to the port of destination. These changes do not affect certificates for commodities that are issued through Australia's new documentation system, the Next Export Documentation System (NEXDOC). This system generates certification for dairy, eggs, honey and honey bee products and from 30 September 2024, fish products, as previously notified in G/SPS/N/AUS/593, published on 2 August 2024.
