Import Food and Drink into Australia with Confidence

Bringing food or beverages into Australia? Food360 helps importers identify biosecurity, ingredient, labelling and food compliance issues before products arrive, reducing the risk of border delays, relabelling costs and regulatory headaches.

Start your import compliance check

Importing food into Australia means navigating biosecurity, food safety and labelling requirements before your product reaches the market.

 

At Food360, our combination of food regulation expertise and nutrition science helps importers identify compliance issues early, adapt products for the Australian market, and reduce the risk of costly delays at the border or after arrival.

  • Proven Experience: We’ve worked with importers across a wide range of categories, including snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, formulated foods and other complex products. Whether you need advice before shipment or support with a product queried at the border, we help you understand what needs to be addressed so your products can move toward sale in Australia with confidence.

  • Pre-import compliance guidance: Importing food into Australia requires consideration of biosecurity conditions, ingredient permissions, formulation, labelling, and claims. We help you identify issues before shipment where possible, including whether ingredients, additives, vitamins, minerals or novel foods are permitted under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

  • Australian label and over-sticker support: Overseas labels need to be adapted before products can be sold in Australia. We review imported food labels for compliance with Australian requirements, including allergen labelling, nutrition information, country of origin, claims, trade measurement, and mandatory label information. Where appropriate, we can also help prepare compliant over-sticker wording or label amendments.

Our Import Process:
Your Pathway to Compliance

  • Biosecurity and formulation check

    Before importation, we help identify whether your product, ingredients or packaging may raise biosecurity or food compliance issues, including ingredient permissions, additives, vitamins, minerals and novel foods.

  • Australian label review

    We review imported food labels against Australian requirements, including allergen labelling, nutrition information, country of origin, claims, trade measurement and other mandatory label information. Where appropriate, we can help prepare compliant over-sticker wording or label amendments.

  • Border and IFIS Support

    If your product is queried, held or assessed under the Imported Food Inspection Scheme, we can provide prompt advice on label or food compliance issues and help identify what needs to be corrected before sale in Australia.
