General certificate information
There are strict certificate requirements for milk and milk products entering or transiting Türkiye. For milk and milk products exported to Türkiye, exporters must ensure all relevant certificates are completed and signed before the consignment departs Australia.
Türkiye does not utilise electronic paperless certification (eCert) or facsimile signed and stamped certificates. Printed paper certificates issued through the department’s Next Export Documentation (NEXDOC) system with wet seals and manual signatures are required for all certificates including consignments transiting or being directly imported into Türkiye.
