Public consultation on this topic is now closed.
The final report has now been published.
How you had your say
We invited feedback from the public and industry groups on the draft report for fresh (chilled or frozen) beef and beef products derived from bovines born and raised in Canada or Mexico and legally imported and slaughtered in the United States (US).
Who engaged
We received five submissions from stakeholders during the public consultation process.
What happens next
The department is moving through the administrative steps required to update Australia’s Biosecurity Import Conditions (BICON) database and relevant parts of the department’s website. When this process is complete, permit applications for the importation of fresh beef and beef products derived from cattle born and raised in Canada or Mexico, and legally imported and slaughtered in the US, may be submitted to the department for assessment.
More information can be found on the Fresh (chilled or frozen) beef and beef products for human consumption from approved countries page.
