Australia: Changes to movement and discrepancy reporting of uncooked imported pig meat

 
On July 19, 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment of Australia Government issued the import industry advice notice 158-2021: Changes to movement and discrepancy reporting of uncooked imported pig meat. The main contents include:

Effective 2 August 2021, all uncooked imported pig meat permit conditions via BICON have been updated.

The process for issuing and receiving movement directions for imported uncooked frozen pig meat will be streamlined to create efficiencies for industry and the department whilst continuing to effectively manage biosecurity and imported food risk.

A Biosecurity Direction will be issued for a 12-month period from date of assessment allowing for the movement to occur between specified AA sites. The entity details of the specified AA site locations are required at the time of initial lodgement of the entry by the broker.
Record of individual carton movements to and from those specified AA site locations must continue to be kept by the biosecurity industry participant operating each site for audit purposes.
