Introduction
This introduction is not part of the Animal Products Notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to set out the zoosanitary requirements necessary to export compliant cats
and dogs from New Zealand to Australia.
Background
The Animal Products Act 1999 provides the controls and mechanisms needed to give and to safeguard official
assurances or zoosanitary certificates to facilitate the entry of animal material including live animals, hatching
eggs, semen and embryos, and products into overseas markets.
Notices issued as Overseas Market Access Requirements (OMARs) under section 60(1)(a) and (b) of the
Animal Products Act specify the requirements that are necessary or desirable for the purpose of facilitating
access to overseas markets or are in accordance with the requirements of the relevant authority of the
importing country.
OMARs may also determine the form and content of the official assurances that can be issued for animal
material or product, including live animals, hatching eggs, semen or embryos, which meet the specified
requirements.
Where the OMAR determines the form and content of the official assurances, a separate export certificate
template is available to authorised persons, recognised persons and registered exporters who have applied
for access to the certificate templates, to facilitate the completion and issuing of the relevant official
assurance. That template will be an amendable version of the form set in the OMAR.
Notices issued under section 60(1)(c) of the Animal Products Act to safeguard the assurances provided by
New Zealand, and guidance in the form of Operational Codes, should be read in conjunction with this Notice.
Where the OMAR determines the requirements can be met without an official assurance, a separate pre-
printed certificate is available from designated private veterinarians who are permitted to provide export
certification for cats and dogs to Australia.
This OMAR specifies the requirements that must be met by exporters of cats and dogs to be exported from
New Zealand to Australia and determines the form and content of the official assurance and the content of the
pre-printed certificate that must accompany the cats and dogs to be exported.
By agreement with the Australian Government most cats and dogs can enter Australia without an official
assurance issued by an Official Veterinarian employed by MPI. Instead export certificates for cats and dogs
are routinely issued by veterinarians in private practice in New Zealand and approved by MPI for this purpose
using pre-printed certificates. The approval mechanism of the registered veterinarians ensures the Australian
Government continues to have confidence in the New Zealand certification system.
Notwithstanding that an official assurance is not required for the export of cats and dogs to Australia, there are
specific circumstances agreed with the Australian Government where a MPI Official Veterinarian will be
required to issue the required certification in place of an approved veterinarian.
The OMAR was issued after consultation with industry and the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Forestry (DAFF). It is based on the previous OMAR: Dogs and Cats to Australia, dated 1 March 2023.

Who should read this Animal Products Notice?
Exporters of cats and dogs to Australia.
Why is this important?
This Notice is important because it sets out the requirements that need to be met so that the Director-General
of the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) can certify that the cats and dogs meet the
requirements for export to Australia which New Zealand, in consultation with the government of Australia, has
determined will apply. It should be noted that although the cats and dogs may comply with these requirements
and be given a pre-printed export certificate (AUPET9) or an official assurance (by way of a certificate,
AUPETOA9), the importing country ultimately retains control over what cats and dogs it clears for entry.
Export non-conformances
Exporters should note that, under section 51 of the Animal Products Act 1999, where they have exported
animal material or products, including live animals, hatching eggs, semen and embryos, that are refused entry
by the foreign government they have a statutory duty to notify the Director-General of MPI not later than 24
hours after they have first knowledge of the event.
Liability
Section 61A of the Animal Products Act 1999 states that:
The Crown is not liable, and nor is the Director-General or any employee of the Ministry liable,
for any loss arising through the refusal or failure of the relevant authority of an overseas
market to admit export animal material or animal product to that market.

contact Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water at exotic.species@dcceew.gov.au to confirm your cat satisfies the
PL
requirements.
8. In accordance with the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956, the following pure breeds cannot be imported to Australia: Pit Bull Terrier or

the microchip number prior to completing the export certificate.
10. At each veterinary visit, the animal’s microchip must be scanned, and the microchip number must be correctly recorded on all documentation in
accordance with the Animal Products Notice: Export Requirements for Live Animals Microchipping. for all testing, treatment, and examinations relevant
for certification to Australia.
11. The exporter declaration must be completed in full at the time of certification and before the animals are examined by the Approved Veterinarian. If
the owner is not present at the time of certification (i.e. the exporter declaration is signed by an exporter or representative) an owner’s statutory
declaration signed in the presence of a Justice of the Peace or other person authorised to take a statutory declaration, must be presented to the
certifying veterinarian and kept on file.
12. The Approved Veterinarian should only sign the Export Certificate once the whole certificate, including the exporter declaration, has been
M
completed and he/she has examined the animal and confirmed that it is fit to travel.
13. For dogs that require Leishmania infantum testing, the test must be done only after the dogs have been resident in New Zealand for a minimum of
21 days. This testing remains valid only if the dog is continuously resident in New Zealand from the sampling date until export to Australia.
14. Samples for Leishmania infantum testing are to be sent to the Animal Health Laboratory (IDC), Wallaceville. For enquiries, please contact the
laboratory on 04 894 5600. Copies of the test results must be attached to this certificate.
15. All dogs which have resided in mainland Africa, must be prepared for export by the Approved Veterinarian, and will be certified by an Official MPI
Veterinarian.
For dogs that have previously resided in mainland Africa, the dog was treated as in clause 5 of the veterinary certification, while the dog was
resident in New Zealand or for the purpose of import into New Zealand/Australia.
16. Parasite treatment must be effective against internal (effective against nematodes and cestodes) and external parasites (that kills ticks and fleas
on contact) using drugs registered for that purpose in New Zealand. As a general rule, oral external parasite treatments do not meet Australian
SA
import conditions and should therefore not be relied upon for exporting dogs and cats to Australia. The department’s website includes a table of
acceptable parasite treatments for use in preparing dogs and cats for export to Australia -http://www.agriculture.gov.au/cats-dogs/step-by-step-
guides/parasite-treatment. The list is not exhaustive but where an exporter wishes to use an unlisted product, they should contact the department
first to check that it will be appropriate.
17. Additional health information should include a letter on a practice letterhead detailing any health conditions of the animal that could affect its
clearance in Australia, any laboratory results (Leishmania infantum) and previous export certificates which contain details of imidocarb
dipropionate treatment.
18. Cats and dogs travelling by air must be transported to Australia in accordance with the container requirements specified in the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) Live Animals Regulations. These specify, among other things that the container must: be strong enough to prevent
the animal escaping, allow the animal to have enough space to turn around normally while standing, to stand and sit erect, and lie in a natural
position. For more details regarding IATA regulations contact your airline. The IATA standards have been developed to prevent escape and injury
during transportation. Assistance dogs may travel with their handler in the cabin – contact your airline for clarification of these requirements.
19. The MPI Approval Number is the number given to the MPI Approved Veterinary Practice where this veterinarian is approved to do this certification.
20. Documentation must be in order and all import requirements must be met.
21. The original export certificate must accompany the animal.
22. Any animal arriving in Australia having not met their requirements may be ordered into quarantine or re-shipped to New Zealand at the importer's
expense.
Section 61A of the Animal Products Act states that ‘The Crown is not liable, and nor is the Director-General or any employee of the
Ministry liable, for any loss arising through the refusal or failure of the relevant authority of an overseas market to admit export
animal material or animal product to that market’.
