KLE has a current Registered Premises Audit Report current as at 3/12/19 prepared under the Australian Export Control (Animals) Order 2004, and the Australian Standards for the Export
of Livestock (version 2.3) 2011.

It is important to note that the current licence, No LAE190 is registered to Karumba Livestock exports Pty Ltd, not any individual, and in effect cannot be transferred without a new application being made.
