  International operations (based outside of Australia) fall outside of the governance of the Australian Quarantine & Inspection Services (AQIS).

The export of product, therefore, will depend on the individual requirements of the destination country, and the level of authorisation of importing agents within those countries. For example, within the EU there are two recognised types of organic imports from third countries. One involves the acceptance of the organic standard applied in an equivalent country; the other requires importers to be individually authorised for import.

The EU recognises Australia and five other countries (Argentina, Costa Rica, Israel, New Zealand and Switzerland) as equivalent, ensuring direct market access for all organic product exported from these countries. Outside of these countries, however, exporters would need to ensure the individual authorisation of importers of product.

NASAA is your point of contact to advise on requirements for export for operators based outside of Australia.
