Exporting beef or beef products to Australia

Exporting beef or beef products to Australia Australia has a country categorisation and import certification system in place to ensure that beef and beef products imported into Australia come from animals free from BSE. Under this system, FSANZ conducts food safety assessments to determine the BSE risk status of an applicant country and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry implements import certification requirements at the border. The department also undertakes an import risk analysis (IRA) of countries wanting to export fresh (chilled or frozen) beef to Australia. The IRA assesses animal health systems of the exporting country and biosecurity risks associated with importing fresh beef from the country.
