♡⚖️ Oceania Pet Regulations & Compliance
Knowledge Center →🍖 Pet Food Regulation
Australia — AS 5812:2023 (Manufacturing and marketing of pet food — Cats and dogs), a voluntary standard (administered via the Pet Food Industry Association of Australia) covering manufacture, labelling, traceability and recall; the APVMA registers therapeutic pet foods as veterinary chemical products. New Zealand — the ACVM (Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines) scheme under MPI regulates pet food/treats, with general food law also applying. Both reference AAFCO/FEDIAF nutritional guidelines; state/territory food acts (AU) and MPI (NZ) add further layers.
🧸 Pet Product Standards
AS 5812 covers labelling and "pet food authenticity"; there is no single dedicated pet-toy law — general consumer and product-safety law (Australian Consumer Law; NZ Fair Trading Act) applies. Electrical pet devices need RCM / electrical-safety certification. Therapeutic pet foods require APVMA / ACVM registration.
📥 Import Requirements
Strict biosecurity is the binding constraint. Animal-derived pet food — especially pet meat — faces a DAFF Biosecurity (Biosecurity Act 2015) risk assessment and many pet-meat imports are prohibited; manufactured pet food needs an import permit and overseas-manufacturer approval. New Zealand applies commodity-specific Import Health Standards (IHS). Both require veterinary/health certificates to prevent introduction of foreign animal diseases.
📤 Export Requirements
DAFF (Australia) issues export health certificates for pet food; MPI (New Zealand) certifies for export. Australia leverages its proximity to Asia as an export base, while both countries import finished goods from Thailand and the US. Exporters must meet each destination’s veterinary certification.
