Australia’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has updated its import regulations for dairy products to ensure compliance and market access. Products with less than 10% dairy content no longer require approval from the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry. However, a manufacturer’s declaration or food product label stating dairy content is less than 10% by dry weight is required for biosecurity compliance. In 2022, the Philippines exported $56,000 worth of dairy products to Australia, equivalent to about P3 million. The DTI also noted that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released rules outlining requirements and processes for registering and listing cosmetic product facilities and products entering their country. Facilities must renew their registrations every two years.
