Annex

1. 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.
   

2. 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.
   

3. 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.]
   

4. 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.
   

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

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

7. 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.]
   

Additional health certification requirements if the consignment includes goldfish (carassius auratus)

1. The goldfish originate from a country, zone or export premises (the population) determined to be free from spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) and Aeromonas salmonicida (other than goldfish ulcer disease strains) based on a program of monitoring and surveillance acceptable to the Competent Authority and consistent with criteria for health certification stated in the department’s import conditions as criteria on which additional health certification for goldfish is based.
   

   [If any of the fish have been imported, the country/ies of origin must be listed as part of the health certification. Health Certificates issued by the country of origin are attached and attest that the country, zone, or export premises from which the fish originate is free of spring viraemia of carp (SVCV) and Aeromonas salmonicida (other than goldfish ulcer disease strains.)]
   

2. The goldfish are exported from a country, zone or export premises determined to be free from spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), and Aeromonas salmonicida (other than goldfish ulcer disease strains) based on a program of monitoring and surveillance acceptable to the Competent Authority, and consistent with criteria for health certification stated in the department’s import conditions as criteria on which additional health certification for goldfish is based.
   

3. All goldfish in the consignment have been treated with an effective parasiticide (e.g. trichlorfon, formaldehyde, sodium chloride) during the seven (7) days prior to export to Australia to eliminate infestation by the gill flukes Dactylogyrus vastator and D. extensus.
   

   [The active ingredients and concentration must be recorded on the health certification.]
