OUR READING AS AN EXPORTER, CHECKED 2026-09-14. CONFIRM WITH YOUR BROKER BEFORE YOU QUOTE A CUSTOMER.

Paperwork for Australia

Commercially prepared tea is permitted under Australian biosecurity rules without an import permit; the courier lodges the declaration.
Retail labelling follows FSANZ rules; bulk foil for your own drinks does not need a retail label.
Organic: Australia has no general equivalence with Japan, so imported organic claims rest on the JAS certificate that ships with the lot; check with your certifier before making retail claims.
Commercial invoice, packing list and per-lot COA with every shipment.
