Importing country requirements

As a dairy manufacturer, you must meet the importing country’s requirements of the markets you are exporting to. Your food safety plan will outline how you’ve met all requirements before you export.

Approval to produce dairy products does not automatically grant entry into all importing countries.

Some countries have specific requirements. This could include the need to provide extra details before entering the country and that your establishment is “listed” with the importing country authority.

Some countries that require listing, include:

Your approved arrangement

All export registered establishments that prepare, handle and store prescribed dairy products must have an Approved arrangement (AA).

To become export registered you must document and submit a proposed arrangement. This will be assessed by an auditor to determine if your documented system adequately meets requirements.
