Exporters must also make sure they comply with requirements of other regulatory or advisory bodies associated with exporting commodities, such as the Department of Conservation and Customs.
Please note that commercial exporters of animals and reproductive material must be registered as exporters under the Animal Products Act. Owners exporting live animals for non-commercial reasons, such as the owners of pet cats or dogs, are not required to be registered.
This webpage is updated regularly, but overseas countries' import conditions can change quickly and MAF may not immediately be informed about changes. Definitive conditions should be provided by the importing country at the time of issuance of the import permit. Where import permit conditions do not agree with those in the latest export certificate published by MAF, the International Animal Trade Section of MAF must be advised prior to export so that re-negotiations can be undertaken and changes made where necessary.
