This guide outlines MPI's requirement for exporting bee products
This guideline is provided to assist the Recognised Agencies (RAs) to perform Loadout checks on export consignments of dairy material and dairy product. Additionally it serves to reiterate the obligations of Exporters of Dairy Material and Dairy Product to the EU as
prescribed in section 2.1 of the European Union, Animal Products: Overseas Market Access Requirements.
Criteria relating to the design and construction of Dairy Premises and plant were originally
published by MAF within the documents DDM1A, DDM1B, DDM1C. The ownership of these
documents was then transferred to MQM and the documents were renamed as MQD1A, MQD1B, MQD1C.
The Procedure for Approval or Recognition of Dairy Maintenance Compounds describes the MPI process for approving novel technologies including alternative premises and equipment designs for use on, in or at farm dairies.
The purpose of this plant import requirement is to describe the approved method of seed sampling and DNA-based testing for the presence of genetically modified seed for pre-export [and border] testing consignments of seeds imported for sowing into New Zealand.
EU: From 19 October 2017, each consignment of organic products exported from New Zealand to Europe must have a certificate of inspection (COI) issued by MPI using TRACES. Switzerland: From 1 January 2019, each consignment of organic products exported from New Zealand to Switzerland must also have a certificate of inspection (COI) issued by MPI using TRACES. From 1 January until 31 December 2018, consignments exported to Switzerland may have a certificate issued either using TRACES or the MPI manual certificate system.
Despite the general requirement that a risk management programme is tailored to the
individual business concerned, section 12(3A) of the Animal Products Act 1999 (“the
Act”) allows for a risk management programme for a particular business, or part of a
business, to be based on a template, a model, or a code of practice, if in the view of the
Director-General the template, model or code of practice is valid and appropriate for
businesses of that kind.
