For an AWBC Continuing Approval Number, 2 bottles of finished wine must be sent to the AWBC.

Upgrades

If you have previously had your wine tested by Vintessential, and require another Certificate, we may be able to organise an upgrade from the original Certificate.

Combinations of Certificates
If you intend to export your wine to more than one country we can arrange to test your wine for

more than one Certificate at a time. This is a very cost effective way of getting the necessary Certificates. The Certificates are listed below in combinations of one, two or three at a time.

CERTIFICATES OF ANALYSIS

Most Export Certificates of Analysis need to be provided by a NATA accredited laboratory.

The Certificate/s required depend upon the country of destination. The most common Certificates

requested are:

AWBC Continuing Approval Application (CAA) (for export from Australia)

The Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation is the authority that is responsible for all exporting of wine from Australia. All wine exported from Australia, apart from sample shipments of less than 100L, needs a Continuing Approval Number (CAN) provided by the AWBC.  This requires lodgment with them of 2 bottles of wine, an extra set of labels, and a completed Continuing Approval Application (CAA).

After testing your wine, Vintessential will complete the analysis section of your CAA and fax the form to you for completion and onforwarding to the AWBC.  We maintain a close working relationship with the AWBC to ensure that the wine approval process runs as smoothly as possible for our customers.

 
Japan Certificate of Analysis (for import into Japan)

After testing your wine, Vintessential will fax you a copy of the Certificate and then mail the original

to you.

VI1 Certificate of Analysis (for import into European Economic Community)

There are three VI1 Certificate options depending upon the type of wine. This is because

different testing is required for each type of wine. The options are:

Packaged wine (ie. Bottled wine)
Botrytised wine
Bulk wine

After testing your wine, Vintessential will fax you a copy of the Certificate, and then mail the original to the AWBC.

Other Certificates that may be requested include Sweden and Israel. If you are unsure of what is required please ask for our assistance.
