This document relates to the movement of all commercial, feral, rangelands and pet goats into and within NSW.

All goats entering NSW must have an approved NLIS ear tag.

An approved ear tag is one that conforms with the national standard approved by Meat and Livestock Australia, and has a property identification code (PIC) printed on it.

Note: goats can enter NSW from Western Australia with a tag that is printed with the owners registered brand instead of the PIC. They do not need to be retagged.

Remember: it is illegal to remove any NLIS tag.
