The fee to be paid for the re-issue or replacement of an export certificate (without the involvement of a foreign government), including a certified copy, is the same fee that was paid for the issue of the original certificate.

The Animal Products (Fees, Charges, and Levies) Regulations 2007 (Schedule 1 Part 1) sets the fees and specifies that:

Every export certificate signed by NZFSA is subject to a fee of $25.

Every replacement export certificate signed by NZFSA following a demand by a foreign government is subject to a fee of up to $1000.

Regulation 9 of the Animal Products (Fees, Charges, and Levies) Regulations 2007, allows for the Director-General to waiver these fees in whole or part, in any appropriate case or class of cases.

The table in clause 16.1 summarises the waivers and specifies the fee to be paid.
