Export requirements:

• Bacterial leaf blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola)
• Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae)
• Vineyard snail (Cernuella virgata) (as per the grain exports process instruction tolerances)
  
• Winter wild oat (Avena sterilis subsp. ludoviciana)
• Wild oat (Avena sterilis)
• Ripgut brome (Bromus rigidus)
• Doublegee (Rumex hypogaeus - synonym Emex australis)
• Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola)
  
• Turnip weed (Rapistrum rugosum)
• Bathurst burr (Xanthium spinosum)
  

The presence of non-canola seedmaterial (including quarantine weed seeds) must be below 1%. Laboratory testing of representative samples from the products being exported attesting to a non-seed material presence of less than 1% must be presented to the Grain and Seed Exports Program (Grain.Export@aff.gov.au) prior to loading and also provided to the Authorised Officer at time of inspection. The laboratory analysis certificate must reference the cells/bunkers/other storage identifier tested and this must be able to be linked to the inspection record for the consignment. Consignments which have been loaded without testing certificates being presented to the Grain and Seed Exports Program prior may not be authorised.

Authorised Officers must also verify the consignment meets all general grain requirements as listed in the instructional material, including extraneous material tolerance requirements, as part of their standard grain inspection during loading.

All canola for export to China must be sourced from an area of low pest prevalence (0.5% or lower presence in tested samples) for Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) as confirmed via port zone testing. If port zone testing has not yet been completed for the area where the products were sourced from, the consignment must undergo laboratory analysis for Blackleg (Leptosphaera maculans) and the certificate provided to the Authorised Officer at time of inspection.

Bacterial leaf blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola) and Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) are not on canola seed pathway and do not require testing or inspection to determine freedom.

Consignments must be inspected for the presence of Vineyard snail (Cernuella virgata), Winter wild oat (Avena sterilis subsp. ludoviciana), Wild oat (Avena sterilis), Ripgut brome (Bromus rigidus), Doublegee (Rumex hypogaeus - synonym Emex australis), Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), Turnip weed (Rapistrum rugosum) and Bathurst burr (Xanthium spinosum). Inspection must also verify that the consignment meets the grain exports process instruction tolerances.

Establishment registration requirements:

• It is the inspection and packing registered establishment's responsibility to ensure they are registered with the GACC prior to preparing or exporting canola to China. This registration is separate to the department's registration of export registered establishments.
• If a registered establishment is inspecting and packing canola to China for the first time, contact must be made with the Grain and Seed Exports Program (Grain.Export@aff.gov.au), so that the name and location of the business can be provided to GACC. GACC registered establishments are published on the GACC website.
  
• Canola for processing can only be exported from approved Australian export registered establishments listed on the GACCwebsite to approved specific facilities in a number of provinces. Refer to the Import permit requirements section below.
  
• The registered establishment name and number must be entered in the Lot number field of the Request for Permit (RFP) as follows:
  

• Hainan
  
• Fujian
  
• Guangdong
• Guangxi
• Hebei
• Liaoning
  
• Tianjin
