A transfer certificate is a document which is completed by an establishment who is dispatching product to another establishment within Australia, possibly for further processing. A completed transfer certificate ensures that information about the product being transferred is maintained throughout the export chain, and provides evidence to the receiving establishment, and assurance to international trading partners, that importing country requirements have been met.

Your importing country may require you to be export listed with us. This depends on what you produce and where you are sending your goods.

Importing country requirements

Goods that you may have to source from an export listed establishment include:

• bee products
• blood and blood products
• edible fats and oils
• health foods
• leather products
• dried pet food products
• rendered animal products
• skin or hide products.

This varies depending on the importing country.

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has created this guideline to assist those wishing to export non-prescribed goods.

This guideline sets out what constitutes a non-prescribed good and how to determine if a particular product is a prescribed or non-prescribed good for the purpose of exporting from Australia.
