United States Export Market Guide

Unless an exemption has been granted by Wine Australia, grape products exported from Australia must comply with the Food Standards Code. Accordingly, the labelling and wine standards information in Wine Australia’s Export Market Guides should be read in conjunction with Wine Australia's Licensing and Compliance Guide which contains the requirements of the Food Standards Code and applicable exemptions.

The Export Market Guide provides essential information on the regulatory environment for wine exports, including:

• Duties and taxes, such as import duties and domestic taxes
• Wine standards, including permitted oenological practices, additives, and processing aids, and
• Labelling requirements, covering both mandatory and optional items.

The Guide also outlines importing requirements, such as certification and import procedures, and includes a list of key government contacts and relevant website resources.

For requirements specific to exporting organic and biodynamic wine, see the Organic Wine Export Market Guide.
