Compliance & Export Credentials

Supporting eligible New Zealand honey exports through traceable supply, verified testing and market-specific documentation pathways.

Honey Products New Zealand Export Limited supports the export of New Zealand honey through traceable, compliant and market-appropriate export pathways.

We work with New Zealand honey producers, MPI-registered operators, approved packing facilities, independent laboratories, freight partners and destination-market importers to coordinate the correct pathway for each shipment.

​

Every shipment is reviewed on a country-by-country and order-by-order basis to ensure the correct supplier, facility, testing, certification and documentation pathway is used before order confirmation.

MPI Registered Exporter

Honey Products New Zealand Export Limited is registered with the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries as an Animal Products Exporter.

​

This registration allows us to support eligible New Zealand honey exports and coordinate MPI export certification or official assurances where required by the destination market.

​

For buyers, this means we can manage the New Zealand-side export process, including supplier traceability, documentation coordination, laboratory testing where required, and export certification support through the correct MPI pathway.

Final export eligibility is confirmed based on honey type, product format, supplier/RMP pathway, destination market and importer requirements

MP Exporter

MPI Animal Products Exporter Registration

RMP-Compliant Honey Supply

All honey coordinated for export through Honey Products New Zealand Export Limited is handled through appropriate MPI-registered Risk Management Programme pathways.

​

This supports food safety, export eligibility and full batch traceability from source through to shipment.

For buyers, this means each order can be matched to the correct supplier, processor, packing facility and export documentation pathway based on the destination market and product format.

Traceability records may include supplier details, batch/lot identification, processing or packing pathway, laboratory results, storage/handling records and export documentation.

​

Final export documentation is confirmed before shipment according to the buyer’s requirements, MPI requirements and destination-market conditions.

  • MPI-registered RMP pathway

  • Full batch traceability

  • Export-eligible handling

  • Documentation control

Export Documentation Support

Honey export documentation is prepared according to the destination market, product format, buyer requirements and agreed export pathway.

​

Depending on the shipment, we can coordinate or support documentation such as MPI export certification, health certificates, certificates of origin, certificates of analysis, batch traceability records and commercial shipping documents.

​

Documentation requirements are confirmed before shipment and may vary by country, importer and product format.

Market-Specific Export Pathways

Export requirements differ by destination market, honey type, bulk format, importer and certification pathway. Each enquiry is reviewed before order confirmation so the correct supply, facility, testing and documentation pathway can be matched to the buyer’s market.

  • Saudi Arabia & GCC

We can support Saudi Arabia and wider GCC honey enquiries through appropriate New Zealand export pathways, including Saudi-listed New Zealand establishments where required.

Final eligibility depends on the product format, packing facility, importer clearance process and destination-country requirements.

  • EU TRACES NT Registration

Honey Products New Zealand Export Limited is registered in TRACES NT for honey and apiculture products.

​This supports EU export documentation for eligible New Zealand bulk honey and is verifiable through the official TRACES NT public establishment directory.

Final EU export eligibility is confirmed per shipment based on honey type, facility pathway and importer requirements.

  • Asia & Other Markets

For Japan, Southeast Asia and other markets, we can coordinate export pathway checks, documentation support and market-specific testing requirements for bulk New Zealand honey.

The buyer/importer is responsible for confirming local import approval, food authority clearance, import permits and any destination-specific requirements before shipment.

Certification & Support Documentation

Where required, additional certification or support documentation can be coordinated based on the product format, supplier pathway, buyer requirements and destination market.

  • Halal Certification Available on Request

Halal certification can be coordinated for bulk honey where required, subject to the final facility pathway, certifying body and destination-country requirements.

  • Organic Certification Available on Request

Organic-certified bulk honey may be available on request, subject to supplier availability, certification status and destination-market requirements.

  • Origin & Non-GMO Support Documentation

New Zealand honey benefits from the country’s strict controls around genetically modified organisms and its highly traceable agricultural supply chain.

Where required, we can support buyer audits with supplier declarations, country-of-origin documentation, chain-of-custody information and full product traceability records.

Third-party Non-GMO certification can be reviewed if specifically required by the buyer, retailer or destination market.

Independent Testing Support

Independent laboratory testing can be coordinated to support buyer specifications, export requirements and bulk honey verification.

​

Testing may include Mānuka classification, MGO/DHA, HMF, diastase, moisture, colour, C4 sugar, glyphosate, residues, pollen analysis and other market-specific requirements.
