Fox nuts for Australian importers, repackers and health-food brands

Australian buyers include Indian grocery importers, health-food wholesalers, and snack and fitness-food brands that roast and flavour makhana locally. Australia has some of the strictest import biosecurity in the world, so we start every enquiry with the import conditions for the exact product, packaging and treatment, and only then agree grade and price.

How Australian import checks work for makhana

  • Biosecurity conditions: imports are checked under the Australian Department of Agriculture's biosecurity rules. The BICON import conditions database lists what applies to the product. We review BICON with you before dispatch.
  • Packaging and treatment: clean, new, food-grade packaging, with a treatment certificate if the conditions ask for one.
  • Labelling: the Food Standards Code (FSANZ) sets country of origin, allergen and nutrition labelling. This is the importer's or brand's responsibility. We supply 10 kg bags for local repacking, or private-label packs printed to your artwork.

Rules change. Your importer or customs broker should confirm current conditions before ordering. We do not claim organic certification.
