Austrade in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment have developed the Austrade Export Service Platform to enable exporters to quickly access tariff rates, import country requirements and commercial insights for mangoes in 51 markets.
The Australian Mango Industry Association, and several other stakeholders, kindly gave their time and advice to aid the development of the service. We hope you find it valuable and suggestions for improvement are welcome (a feedback function is available on the site).
An instructional video has been developed to show new users how to use the platform and is available below:
MICOR
MICOR is the website that sets out the known requirements that exporters and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry must meet for products and commodities to be accepted for import into specific overseas countries.
