| 25 | 07 Apr 2026 | Australia | All Trading Partner | Edible meat and meat products derived from cattle, buffalo, camels, goats, deer, sheep, pigs, horses and donkeys; wild game; rabbit; poultry and ratite (emu, ostrich). | Australia is replacing its current export documentation system, known as the Export Documentation System (EXDOC), with a new version called the Next Export Documentation System (NEXDOC). The change of system from EXDOC to NEXDOC will result in changes to official Australian Government export certificate templates for Australian agricultural goods.Australia’s export certification for edible meat and meat products such as meat, offal and meat products derived from cattle, buffalo, camels, goats, deer, sheep, pigs, horses and donkeys; wild game; rabbit; poultry and ratite (emu, ostrich) will soon transition to the NEXDOC system. This includes, where relevant, halal certification issued for halal meat and meat products.Australia has already transitioned a range of commodity specific export certification to the NEXDOC system including inedible animal products (October 2025), low-risk food items (May 2025), wool, skins and hides (November 2024), fish (September 2024), eggs (December 2023), honey (2022-2023), and dairy (May 2021).The planned changes do not affect bilaterally agreed information, conditions or attestations required by importing countries or the department’s regulatory controls over exports. However, there are minor changes to formatting and the location of some of this information on the export certificate template. Electronic certification (eCert) is not affected by the planned changes.The NEXDOC export certificate templates have unique Quick Response (QR) codes that provide consignment specific information border officials can use to confirm authenticity of the certificate in real-time. To verify the QR code, border officials scan the code through the official’s smart phone camera.Australia proposes NEXDOC export certificate and, where relevant, halal certificate templates will be issued for edible meat and meat products from 15 June 2026. The change in proposed date of adoption is to allow additional time for implementation.There will be a transition period where both the EXDOC and NEXDOC certificate templates will be in use to allow for transit time (air and sea freight) to the port of destination. | G/SPS/N/AUS/630/Add.1 | N/A |

The consultation period closed on 27 February 2026. This addendum notifies trading partners that Australia will implement the following two changes recommended in the Draft PRA, effective from 30 April 2026Change 1: Updating Australia’s List of ‘target-risk khapra beetle countries’ to include 8 additional countries: Angola, Chad, Guinea, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Tanzania and Turkmenistan (Available at: https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/policy/legislation/list-target-risk-countries-host-khapra-beetleChange 2: Removing Trogoderma serraticorne from Australia’s ‘List of Trogoderma Species of Biosecurity Concern’. (Available at https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/policy/legislation/list-trogoderma-speciesThese Lists are referenced under the Biosecurity Act 2015. The updated versions of the lists (and previous versions to support consignments shipped under earlier requirements) will be published on the above webpages on 30 April 2026. Goods in-transitConsignments shipped up to and including 29 April 2026 will be assessed against the previous versions of the relevant Lists in force at the time of export.Consignments shipped on or after 30 April 2026 will be required to meet the updated import conditions, applying the new versions of the relevant lists (which take effect on implementation).The shipped-on-board date recorded on consignment documents will be used to determine the applicable requirements. Summary of Change 1: Addition of countries to the ‘List of Target-risk khapra beetle countries’Based on information considered in the Draft PRA, there are references suggesting that khapra beetle may be present in Angola, Chad, Guinea, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Tanzania and Turkmenistan. Australia engaged with the National Plant Protection Organisations of these countries however insufficient evidence was provided to support the ‘absence’ status. These countries will be added to Australia’s List of Khapra beetle target-risk countries, effective from 30 April 2026.Consignments exported from these countries will now be subject to additional pre-export measures where khapra beetle target-risk country requirements apply. Measures that may apply include:For high-risk plant products:Mandatory pre-export treatment requirements. This includes post-treatment inspection by government official and phytosanitary certification confirming treatment requirements have been met and that goods are free from live Trogoderma species.For other-risk plant productsExisting phytosanitary requirements for other-risk plant products remain in place subject to the amendment described under Change 2 below. This includes goods having phytosanitary certification confirming freedom from all evidence of Trogoderma species in Australia’s list of Trogoderma species of biosecurity concern For further information on high-risk and other-risk plant products see https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/pests-diseases-weeds/plant/identify/khapra-beetle/plant-productsFor sea containers:Mandatory pre-export treatment requirements for sea containers that are packed with high-risk plant products, or packed with any goods and intended to be unpacked in a rural khapra risk postcode of Australia. For further information on sea container measures see https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/pests-diseases-weeds/plant/identify/khapra-beetle/sea-container-measuresSummary of Change 2: Removal of Trogoderma serraticorne from the ‘List of Trogoderma Species of Biosecurity Concern’Based on information considered in the Draft PRA, Trogoderma serraticorne will be removedfrom Australia’s ‘List of Trogoderma Species of Biosecurity Concern’, effective from 30 April 2026. Where phytosanitary certification currently requires inspection and certification for freedom from Trogoderma species of biosecurity concern to Australiathat requirementwill no longer apply for Trogoderma serraticorne from the implementation date. Inspection and certification requirements continue to apply to all other Trogoderma species included in Australia’s list of Trogoderma species of biosecurity concern.This list is referenced in the phytosanitary certificate additional declaration: “Representative samples were inspected and found free from evidence of any species of Trogoderma (whether live, dead or exuviae) in Australia’s list of Trogoderma species of biosecurity concernThis requirement applies to:High-risk plant products exported from countries that are not listed as khapra beetle target-risk countries, andOther-risk plant products exported from all countries.If a listed Trogoderma species of biosecurity concern is detected on arrival in Australia, or if certification does not verify compliance with the above requirements, the consignment will be subject to remedial action, which may include re-export.This list was previously amended on 25 July 2025 to include Trogoderma serraticorne, as notified in G/SPS/N/AUS/502/Add.21, based on its potential to enter Australia via imported plant products, establish and spread and cause economic consequence. Information considered in the Draft PRA indicates that this species is not likely to be associated with imported plant products, and its inclusion on the list is therefore no longer warranted.Further informationFor all enquiries, please contact Plant Import Operations via email at imports@aff.gov.au (please title the subject line of the email with “Plant T2 – Khapra”).Comment period: 3 April 2026 - 30 April 2026." | G/SPS/N/AUS/502/Add.25 | N/A |
