Our trading partners may want extra assurances for food and agricultural products due to the spread of COVID-19.
These temporary requirements may be requested by importing country competent authorities. They could include:
- requests for additional assurances on export certificates
- statements or evidence that products are not contaminated and are safe for human consumption.
Check the Manual of Importing Country Requirements (MICoR) for any updates.
Manual of Importing Country Requirements
This website sets out the requirements that exporters and the Department of Agriculture must meet for products and commodities to be accepted for import into specific overseas countries. MICoR is updated when there is a change to an importing country’s requirements.
Exporters and Department of Agriculture staff can use MICoR to find out importing country requirements. In addition to complying with importing country requirements, exporters must also comply with the requirements of the Export Control Act and associated Orders when exporting commodities from Australia.
For answers to frequently asked questions visit FAQ or if you require further information, contact the MICoR Administrator or your nearest Department of Agriculture regional office.
