Resources, licences & regulations
Labelling requirements
You may need to label your imported goods in a certain way, in addition to the general labelling regulations set out by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA). There are two specific requirements for imported goods that you should consider.
Commerce (Trade Descriptions)
The Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905 states that some goods can't be imported unless they are correctly labelled with the required trade description. To find out whether the goods you're importing need a trade description and the guidelines around them, see Customs information on commerce markings.
Country of origin labelling
The CCA prohibits you from making false or misleading claims about the place of origin of goods. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) country of origin webpage tells you how to use country of origin labelling and the regulations governing the Australian Made logo.
What to do...
- Find out more about labelling products on the ACCC's website.
