Export registrations for international protocol markets are now open. Refer to Industry Advice Notice 2020-25 on the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) website.
Online registration
The online registration system is now open. Growers are only required to register their orchards and packhouses for China, Korea and the USA. Please note that registration is NOT required for orchards and packhouses exporting to Japan and New Zealand.
Applications MUST be completed by 26 July 2020.
How to access the online registration website
If you did not register last season, please forward your name, trading name, preferred email address and previous US export registration number (if applicable) to our Industry Development Officer at marine@mangoes.net.au. A no-reply email will be sent to you with a temporary password so that you can login and set up your account. If after 24 hours, you have not received the no-reply email, please check your Junk folder. If you still haven’t received it, please contact marine@mangoes.net.au.
If you registered last season, your login details are the same. Your username should be your email address. If you have forgotten your password, please click on “Forgot password” and follow the prompts. Completing and submitting the online registration each year is still necessary. If your export application is identical to last season, please contact marine@mangoes.net.au and we will arrange for your application to be duplicated. If any changes have occurred (new contact details, new blocks, etc), you will need to fill a new application in full. If your block boundaries and packhouse haven’t changed, the same registration numbers will apply. Growers will be able to access last year’s application through the system.

Crop Monitor online course
Certain protocol markets (China, Korea and USA) are required to have a qualified Crop Monitor. To complete the compulsory Crop Monitor online course, please follow this link, register and complete the online training. Please note that the Crop Monitor online course needs to be completed each year. The following crop monitoring templates can be used by crop monitors and must be retained by growers for auditing purposes:
As long as forms contain the same pest monitoring information, alternative templates may be used.
Training must be completed before flowering (budburst) when crop monitoring needs to start. The course quiz will remain open until 30 September 2020. The course content will be made accessible for reference throughout the season.
Audits
If you were not accredited or were non-compliant for the 2019/20 season, you will be audited before your season starts (week commencing 24 August 2020 for Northern Territory and week commencing 5 October 2020 for Queensland).
If you were compliant last season, you will be audited in-season. DAWE will conduct a desktop audit pre-season so that you can be accredited and allowed to export before your in-season audit takes place.
DAWE’s instructional material is available on the Plant Export Operations Manual (PEOM) to support industry in understanding their roles and responsibilities relating to the export of plants and plant products from Australia.
Treatment facilities (VHT and Irradiation)
Treatment facilities previously registered as an accredited property with DAWE, transitioned automatically to become a registered establishment at the start of the year. They will not need to re-apply as the registration is ongoing. However, they will be audited annually against the new policy. Registered establishments should have received a certificate of registration of an export registered establishment sent out by DAWE. This certificate includes your 4-digit registration number. This factsheet on the DAWE Plant Export Operations Manual, outlines the requirements under the new plant export registered establishment policy and includes references to the relevant instructional material (which can be found here under ‘Establishments’).
If you want to apply to become a registered establishment for either:
o Irradiation treatment of mangoes for export to the USA or New Zealand, or
o Vapour heat treatment of mangoes for export to China, South Korea and Japan.
You must download and complete the Application form for registration as a horticulture export treatment facility, and forward it to DAWE’s Audit and Assurance Group. You must be audited and approved by the department and the importing country where required.
Growers should contact their preferred treatment facility to confirm that they are a registered establishment and approved for the required treatment function.
