About FYI and guidance documents
For your information (FYI) documents provide guidance on specific issues related to the export of animal products (such as meat, seafood, honey, and dairy), food products, plant products, and wine. They should be read in conjunction with the OMAR or ICPR (Importing Countries Phytosanitary Requirement) for the related destination market(s).
Some guidance documents provide guidance on generic processes that apply across multiple destination markets. These do not have reference numbers and are listed below on this page.
Some FYIs and Guidance documents are password protected because they contain commercially sensitive information. If you are involved in exporting animal products, you can apply for access by completing this online application form:
Request or amend access to animal product OMARs
FYIs are cancelled when they are superseded by another FYI or no longer apply.
