The Export Documentation System (EXDOC) is the tool used to find and apply for approvals including the Export Permit. It is in a transitional period to the Next Export Documentation System (NEXDOC) so you will need to refer to the guide to find out where to apply.
Livestock Export Permits are applied for separately, see here for information.
