What are the specific label requirements for exporting spirits to Australia, and can I use existing UK labels?

You cannot use existing UK labels for Australia—relabelling or overstickling is mandatory due to Australia's distinct labelling requirements.

**Key requirements members identified:** - Compliance with **Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)** and **NSW Food Authority** standards (reference: https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/food-labelling/how-read-label/alcohol) - Different unit calculations than the UK - Your Australian importer's name must appear on the label - Mandatory health warnings, including pregnancy warnings and specific imagery

**What this means in practice:** Members recommend treating Australian labels as a separate project—either relabel stock before shipment or oversticker existing UK stock. You'll need to work with your Australian importer to ensure all required elements (their company details, health warnings, unit conversions) are correctly incorporated before the product reaches market.
