EXDOC AQA to become a Approved Export Permit Declarant(AEPD) for MEAT

Modified on Tue, 9 Jun at 1:58 PM

As per the Department’s guidance, the Approved Export Permit Declarant (AEPD) replaces the AQA role in EXDOC, and existing AQA IDs will not be carried forward into NEXDOC.

Each declarant must have an Online Services account, be linked to the correct organisation, and have Approved Export Permit Declarant (AEPD, formerly AQA in EXDOC) status activated for each establishment.

Even if you already hold AEPI status for another commodity in NEXDOC, you must submit a separate AEPD application for meat. This is because AEPD permissions are linked to specific establishments and those listed must be in Management and Control.

If you are an active EXDOC AQA User and you will continue to authorise meat exports in NEXDOC, you must register as an AEPD. You must submit a separate AEPD application for each establishment where you will make declarations.

Key Requirements for AEPD Registration

If you are an active EXDOC AQA User and you will continue to authorise meat exports in NEXDOC, you must register as an Approved Export Permit Declarant (AEPD):

First, create an Online Services account.

If you are acting for a company that uses ImpexDocs, have the NEXDOC Client Group Administrator add you to the Client Group.

Submit an Approved Export Permit Declarant (AEPD) application form for each establishment for which you will be authorising REXs.
Note: The department will only approve an application if you are listed in in that establishment’s Management and Control.

Note: You must be listed in Management or Control and possess an active AQA ID that is linked to the establishment(s) you submit AEPD applications for. If you are not listed, your establishment must amend their registration to have you listed in Management or Control and have it approved before your AEPD status can be activated.
