What should Australian researchers check before importing peptides?
An Australian research-peptide order is an import, so run the checks before anything ships: the supplier should state plainly that the material is a research chemical and not a therapeutic good registered with the TGA, every vial should carry laboratory-use-only labelling, the batch should have its own independent Certificate of Analysis, and the price should settle in Australian dollars with tracked delivery to your address.

Why verification precedes the parcel
For a UK or US buyer, a bad order is a refund conversation. For an Australian buyer it can also be a customs conversation — the parcel arrives as an import, and the importer answers for it. That inverts the usual order of checks: the time to establish what a compound is, how it is labelled and who tested it is before it ships, not when it lands.
The paperwork that answers those questions is the same paperwork a good supplier already publishes: a batch-matched Certificate of Analysis, plain research-use labelling, and a stated position on regulatory status that does not overreach.
Frequently asked questions
Are imported research peptides TGA-registered?
No. They are supplied as research chemicals for laboratory use and are not therapeutic goods registered with the TGA. They are not for human use, and a seller implying otherwise is misdescribing the category.
Who answers for an Australian research-compound import?
The purchaser. New-U supplies qualified researchers direct from the manufacturer; confirming the requirements that apply to your own import and intended research use is your responsibility, and it is best done before ordering.
What does delivery to Australia cost?
A$55 flat on a tracked service, free on orders over A$450, with the order settling in Australian dollars.
Every batch ships with its own third-party Certificate of Analysis. Browse the lab-verified catalogue — research use only.
