Animal Products Act 1999

Export of animal material and products - Export requirements and official assurances

60A: Publication, etc, of notices specifying export requirements

You could also call this:

"Rules for exporting animal products are published or made available to help you know what to do"

When you want to export animal products, you need to know the rules. The Director-General makes a notice that says what you must do to export animal products. This notice is usually published under the Legislation Act 2019.

If the notice does not have to be published, the Director-General must make it available to you if you are an exporter or operator of a risk management programme. You can look at the notice for free or buy it for a reasonable price if it affects your work and you need to see it. The Director-General does not have to make the notice available to everyone.

The Director-General can charge you to access information on a website.
