Annex

Only finfish listed in the list of permitted live freshwater fish suitable for import are included in this consignment, and are documented on the attached invoice.

The fish in the consignment have been inspected within seven (7) days prior to export and show no clinical signs of infectious disease or pests.

The export premises are currently approved for export to Australia as meeting standards under the Department of Agriculture.

[The department’s requirements for Export Premises approval are included as part of the Import Permit. The address of the export premises must be included as part of the health certification.]

All fish being held at the export premises exhibit no clinical signs of significant infectious disease or pests and are sourced from populations not associated with any significant disease or pests within the 6 months prior to certification.

All fish in the consignment have been in premises approved for export of freshwater finfish to Australia for the 14 days prior to export.

The fish have not been kept in water in common with farmed foodfish (fish farmed for human consumption including recreational fishing) or koi carp.

Adequate quarantine safeguards are in place to maintain the health status of the certified fish until export. The fish are effectively isolated in holding systems that prevent infection by direct contact with other fish or indirect contact via water, equipment or any other means.

[Certification must be based on a system of inspection, acceptable to the Competent Authority of the country of export, for it to be satisfied that there is no significant disease or pest problem in the export premises at the time of certification.]
