How to Use NEXDOC to Request for Permits in the Future?

The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) issues export permits. It also issues other important trade documents required to export controlled goods from Australia. Many years ago, the DAWR introduced EXDOC as the electronic platform to help exporters request for permits online and reduce the amount of paperwork. The move was welcomed and helped to speed up the documentation process. It also helped exporters and export agents to speed up the documentation process and eliminate the common human errors.

To make it even more useful, the DAWR is in the process of transit from EXDOC to NEXDOC. This new process claims to offer better electronic documentation benefits. Starting 2019, the transition would be complete by the end of 2020. Post this, the exporters would be able to use NEXDOC for obtaining documents for prescribed and non-prescribed goods in the categories like plants, plant products, animals, dairy, egg products, meat and meat products and many more.

Irrespective of whether you currently use the EXDOC system or not, it is important that you know about the upcoming system. Here’s a brief guide.

Consult Your Software Vendor

The DAWR maintains a list of authorized software vendors from whom you can buy a software to use the current EXDOC system for permit requests and other documents. If you are already using a software from one of these companies, you must consult it on how it plans to upgrade the software to use the NEXDOC system.

In addition, you must check the updates on the DAWR website regarding how the transition is happening for different commodities. As soon as the website updates about a module for the commodity you are interested in, you can get back to your software vendor and know the steps required to update your software.

Buy a Third-party Software

If you are not using a third-party software at present, you start using one immediately. It eases the process to interact with the EXDOC system. It would help you enjoy the current benefits and also those NEXDOC promises shortly. Some of these include:
  • The ability to print the approved documents and certificates right at your office
  • Track the request for permits status
  • Validate the permit request before submission
  • Faster export documentation and more
With NEXDOC getting ready for use, the process of export documentation would indeed become simpler.
