Australia Updates Import Conditions of Standard Permits for Microalgae

On December 3, 2024, the Australian Government, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, established “Import Conditions of Standard Permits for Microalgae”.

The key points are as follows:

• The standard permit now allows microalgae products to contain ingredients from the department's list of highly refined organic chemicals and substance;
• Ingredients such as sugars, glucose, and gum products are now permissible in microalgae goods under the updated permit;
• Importers with permits issued before this date can apply for a variation or obtain a new standard permit to benefit from these changes.

The rule is effective from December 3, 2024.
