NEW HEALTH CERTIFICATE FORMAT FOR IMPORTED MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS FROM AUSTRALIA

             We would like to inform that Australia will be transiting the issuance of export certification for edible meat and meat products to their new NEXDOC system from 15 June 2026. Health certificate for meat and meat products issued on the NEXDOC system will include a QR code as a new security feature and will be printed on A4 plain paper. The blue security paper will no longer be used. A sample of the NEXDOC-generated certificate is appended in Annex A for your reference.

2          There will be no changes to the information reflected on the certificate. The existing electronic certification (eSPS) exchange for imported meat and meat products from Australia (implemented since June 2023) will also remain unaffected by this transition.
