Export requirements for New Zealand market
Important note
The export requirements library outlines destination country requirements you need to meet when exporting. Their purpose is to facilitate access to overseas markets for Cambodian exporters.
The destination country conditions provided below are based on information available Department of Post-harvest Technologies and Quality Control (DFPTQ) at the time of posting (June 2024). Before you commence full-scale production and export your products to a foreign market, it is your responsibility to confirm the current import, regulatory and commercial requirements with the importer and the foreign competent authority. You are responsible for ensuring that your exports comply with applicable Cambodian and importing country requirements. When you request an export certificate, the DFPTQ may request that you provide written documentation or verification to confirm that your products have met Cambodian and importing country requirements.

The Government of New Zealand issued Import Health Standard (IHS) for aquatic animal products under the Biosecurity Act (1993). The HIS has entered into force since 23 December 2022. The minimum biosecurity requirements outlined in this IHS pertain to the importation of aquatic animal products into New Zealand for any purpose other than serving as bait or feed for aquatic animals. These products encompass commodities derived from various aquatic organisms such as fish, molluscs, crustacea, echinoderms, cnidaria, tunicates, and annelids.
The HIS for the aquatic animal products can be accessed at the following link.

The IHS is applicable to aquatic animal products that are imported from any country, excluding their use as bait or feed for aquatic animals, for all other purposes.
