Importing Protein into Australia

Protein powders may be permitted entry into Australia for personal consumption without the requirement for an import permit provided the product is labelled with the individual ingredients including percentages of each ingredient adding up to 100 per cent.

Protein powders containing egg will need to be labelled as containing less than 10 per cent egg to be exempt from requiring an import permit.

Protein powders containing dairy derived ingredients such as Whey, Isolate and/or Caseinates must be labelled as ‘originating from’ and 'Manufactured in' one of the countries listed by the World Organization for Animal Health.

All goods (except for tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if their value is $1,000 or less.

If the total of your order exceeds $1000 AUD, you may need to pay tax and duty on the total, minus shipping charge.
