DAFF provides operational, policy and technical advice to the export egg industry to assist in maintaining international market access. 

DAFF manages and facilitates exports according to legislation, most important of which are the Export Control Act 1982, the Export Control (Prescribed Goods - General) Order 2005 and the Export Control (Eggs and Egg Products) Orders 2005.

In order to export, establishments as defined in the Export Control (Eggs and Egg Products) Orders 2005 are required to be registered with DAFF as per the Export Control (Prescribed Goods - General) Order 2005. It is a condition of registration that the establishment has a DAFF approved quality assurance system in place, called an approved arrangement, which meets the requirements of the Export Control (Eggs and Egg Products) Orders 2005.

An approved arrangement replaces the food processing accreditation and approved quality assurance systems of inspection provided for under the old legislation. 

An approved arrangement will:

• enhance your food safety system to meet importing country requirements and better align with international standards
• be flexible and easy to upgrade/change to meet changing overseas requirements
• assist in meeting new domestic requirements
• provide customised training material for new and existing staff.
