Changes

The department has added a new import pathway for bovine dairy from Japan to the 'Dairy' BICON case.

• New import conditions have been developed for bovine dairy manufactured in and exported from Japan.
• Import conditions do not require Japan to be country approved by the Australian Director of Biosecurity as free from lumpy skin disease.
• Import conditions can be found in the 'Dairy' BICON case by selecting 'Other dairy products (including infant formula) – Bovine – No – Manufactured in, and/or exported from Japan.'

For additional information, refer to the Import Industry Advice Notice: 271-2024: Impact of trade resulting from the outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease in Japan.

Who does this notice affect:
Importers of dairy and dairy products.
