The department has designed a modern, streamlined, enhanced exports traceability system to support overseas market access for exports of agricultural products.
This new system does not change our existing certification arrangements. It is designed to improve product traceability and to automate manual documentation and assessment processes.
Commodities currently available on NEXDOC are:
- Dairy
- Eggs
- Honey and edible apiculture (to markets in the below table)
- Other Goods to Singapore
Transition
Welcome to NEXDOC!
What is NEXDOC?
NEXDOC stands for Next Export Documentation System.
It is a software application used to manage export documentation.
It was developed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
What are the benefits?
Printing certificates at your own office
Attaching supporting documents with your request to export.
Tracking your application and liaising with the department directly through the system.
You will be able to submit and amend your application at any time of the day or night. NEXDOC is a 24/7 self-service.
The department will be running training drop-in sessions in the lead up to go live.
And there is a dedicated team online to help with any questions you may have.
This is an exciting time to be a Honey or apiculture exporter!
