Prohibited & restricted goods 

Some goods are prohibited or have restrictions so you need to check with the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service before you import them. The Customs Information and Support Centre (CISC) can provide general information about Customs procedures in relation to prohibited and restricted goods.

Importing Chemicals

All importers and manufacturers of industrial chemicals for commercial purposes must register with the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme  (NICNAS). Registration involves an annual registration fee.
