The department is clarifying the dating requirements for some government certificates for salmonid fish products that are sourced in an approved country but exported from a different approved country.

• The certificate from the source country does not need to be dated within 6 months prior to the goods arriving in Australia.
• The certificate from the country of export must be dated within 6 months prior to the goods arriving in Australia, in line with the Minimum documentary and import declaration requirements policy.
• The onshore outcomes are being updated accordingly to minimise issues with future imports.
• The permit case is being amended so that it is clear in the import conditions of future permits.

Who does this notice affect:
Importers of salmonid products that are sourced from one country and exported from a different country, Client contact group, and Pathway Operations Cargo - Assessment.
