What Australia Export Control Act 2020 and Implementing Rules requires

The Australia Export Control Act 2020 modernised the Australian export-control framework for prescribed agricultural goods, replacing 17 separate legacy statutes (including the Export Control Act 1982). The Act establishes a single overarching framework for export controls on meat, dairy, eggs, fish, plants and plant products, organics, and live animals, with goods-specific implementing rules made under the relevant section. Exporters must hold an export licence per the relevant part; goods must be sourced from registered establishments per the relevant part; export documentation including phytosanitary or health certificates is issued by Department officers per the relevant part. Compliance is enforced through audits, sampling, suspension or revocation of licences/registrations, and prohibitions under the relevant part. The Act administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF, formerly DAWE) is essential infrastructure for the AUD 50+ billion Australian agricultural export economy.
