________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Understanding exporter requirements for exporting dairy products out of Australia ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What is a dairy product?
Under Australian export legislation, a prescribed dairy product is generally any milk or milk product obtained from a bovine (cow). It does not normally include colostrum, sheep or goat milk products, ice-cream or cheesecake, however countries like the European Union (EU) and China require certification for these types of products. You should check with your buyer to confirm requirements for goods not normally prescribed by DAFF. Examples of a prescribed milk product include, liquid milk, cream, butter, buttermilk, casein, cheese, whey, milk powder and milk protein powder, infant formula, condensed milk, dips containing yoghurt or cream cheese and any other like milk products where milk is the major ingredient.
Major ingredient means that the sum total of all the dairy ingredients must be the largest component (i.e. the first ingredient listed on the label).
Do I need DAFF approval to send dairy products overseas?
Several factors determine when you require approval from DAFF to export dairy products out of Australia.
∙Commercial shipments greater than 10kg (per consignment) can only be exported from Australia under conditions approved by DAFF (export permit, health certification). An ‘export permit’ enables you to get the product out of Australia and a ’h ealth certificate’ enables you to get the product in at the other end.
∙Shipments less than 10kg (per consignment) are not considered a prescribed dairy product and therefore no export requirements apply. For example, you can purchase dairy products from the supermarket and send them overseas as long as the total amount is not more than 10 kg in weight. However, countries like the EU require DAFF certification to clear the goods, regardless of the quantity. In these cases you will need DAFF approval prior to export.
∙Shipments of any quantity to New Zealand (NZ) are also exempt from the export requirements, therefore you do not need DAFF approval prior to export.
∙Generally non bovine dairy products (sheep milk, goat milk) or products like colostrum, ice-cream or cheesecake do not require DAFF approval, except if you are exporting them to the EU and China where you will need DAFF approval prior to export.
Can I export prescribed dairy products purchased from the supermarket or chemist?
There are two occasions where dairy products purchased outside the export chain, such as a supermarket or a non export registered establishment can be exported.
1.When the total shipment is equal to or less than 10kg (importing country dependant).
2.Where the dairy product is imported and not further processed in Australia. In this case DAFF can only
approve/certify product manufactured in Australia. If you wish to export this type of product you will need to ask your buyer what documents they need to clear the goods. If documentation is required you will need to contact the manufacturer in the country of origin.
How do I get DAFF approval to export my prescribed dairy products?
To gain approval to export your dairy products there are several conditions that must be met prior to export.
∙An application to export a prescribed dairy product is called a request for an export permit or RFP.
∙When an RFP is approved you will be issued with an export permit and health certificate
∙All RFPs must be completed electronically through the EXDOC system (Electronic Export Documentation).
If you don’t have the software please see link for details of costs and process involved. You can either
purchase the software of have the software company prepare the export documents for you.
∙All requests for export must be submitted prior to the date of departure and must be submitted for each individual shipment. Please allow sufficient time for the documents to be processed and goods inspected if required
∙In order to be listed as the exporter on your export documents you must be registered as an exporter in the EXDOC system (see form).
∙You must purchase the goods from an export registered establishment and they must also be stored in a DAFF export registered dairy establishment (i.e. goods must always remain in the export chain).
Prescribed dairy goods purchased or stored outside the export chain (registered with DAFF for dairy
products) are not eligible for export.
∙If the goods are moved from the manufacturer then they can only be moved to an export registered warehouse, store or freight forwarder.
∙The manufacturer of the dairy goods must issue you with a declaration of compliance, ie a statement identifying that the dairy products being exported are eligible for export and a declaration that the product has been prepared to meet importing country requirements where applicable (see example).
∙You must ensure that any specific importing country requirements are met prior to export and where applicable reflected on the declaration of compliance. See the Manual of Importing Country Requirements for further details (MICoR).
Do I need to submit supporting documents (product test results, declarations of compliance) with my export permit application?
In some circumstances DAFF will ask you to present these documents to verify that the prescribed dairy products are eligible for export. If these documents are not available then an export permit will not be granted.
In addition to the above there are some countries, such as the European Union or Algeria where these documents are required for each export permit application.
Regardless of when they are requested, you must always have copies before you apply for the export permit.
My customer has asked to include additional information on the health certificate, can DAFF make changes to these documents?
Health certificates are government to government documents and cannot be amended or altered to suit customer requirements. If your customer advises that the change is a government requirement then they will need to provide evidence, such as a government letter advising that these changes are needed to clear the goods.
My customer has advised me that I need to apply for an import permit and provide a certificate of free sale before I export my dairy products, how do I do this?
DAFF cannot issue an import permit, as it is a commercial process that you will need to work through with your customer.
DAFF can issue a letter of free sale or good manufacturing. To organise this you will need to contact the export documentation area with details of your requirement dairy.exdoc@.au
