About Country Pursuits Pty Ltd - Honey Supplier in Australia

Country Pursuits Pty Ltd operates from Queensland, Australia and currently lists 16 active products. The catalogue includes items classified under HS chapter 04 (0409.00 for various honey types) and HS chapter 09 (0905.00 for vanilla beans), as well as a brass‑alloy product recorded under HS 7404.00. The supplier’s top categories feature Acacia, Eucalyptus, Buckwheat and multiple Manuka honeys with defined MGO levels, alongside mixed‑blossom, lemon and ginger infused honeys.

The product set comprises fifteen honey entries - ranging from single‑flower Manuka (MGO 30 to MGO 1800) to blended blossom and flavored varieties - and one vanilla bean entry. In addition, a brass‑alloy item described as “honey colour” is listed, reflecting the use of a copper‑zinc alloy (Cu 60‑65 %, Zn 35‑40 %). All items are presented with their respective HS codes, allowing buyers to identify the correct tariff treatment for each commodity.

Product Range and Specialties of Country Pursuits Pty Ltd

The honey portfolio covers standard floral honeys such as Acacia, Eucalyptus and Buckwheat, which typically meet ICUMSA 45 colour standards and contain ≤20 % moisture. Manuka honey entries are specified by methylglyoxal (MGO) content, a common industry metric ranging from 30 mg/kg to 1800 mg/kg, and are usually graded against the UMF system. Vanilla beans are listed as natural *Vanilla planifolia* and are generally sold in Grade 1 quality with ≤12 % moisture and ≥1 % vanillin content. The brass‑alloy product falls under HS 7404.00, which covers copper and zinc alloys; such items are often supplied in standard bar or sheet forms with copper content between 60‑65 % and zinc 35‑40 %.

Industry practice for these categories includes packaging honey in 500 g glass jars, 1 kg PET bottles or bulk 20 kg drums, while vanilla beans are commonly packed in 25 kg jute or polypropylene bags. Brass alloy pieces are typically shipped in 40 ft containers as bundled coils or ingots, with material certifications confirming alloy composition.

Trade and Export Information - Country Pursuits Pty Ltd

Australian honey exporters mainly target the United States, European Union, Japan and South Korea, where HS 0409.00 products are subject to phytosanitary certification and, for Manuka, MGO/UMF laboratory reports. Vanilla beans (HS 0905.00) are highly sought by the food‑manufacturing sector in Europe and North America and usually require a certificate of origin and compliance with EU food safety regulations (e.g., EU No 1169/2011). Brass‑alloy items under HS 7404.00 are frequently shipped to construction and manufacturing markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where CE marking or equivalent conformity assessment may be requested. Standard export documentation includes commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate for honey and vanilla, and material test report for the alloy. Typical logistics involve CIF or FOB terms, 20 ft containers for bulk honey (≈1 t) and 40 ft containers for brass alloy (≈12 t).

Sourcing from Country Pursuits Pty Ltd - Buyer Guidance

Buyers should request a recent laboratory analysis for each honey batch, covering moisture content, diastase activity, HMF level and, for Manuka, an MGO certificate that matches the listed grade. For vanilla beans, a moisture and vanillin content test sheet, along with an organic or fair‑trade certificate if required, is standard. The brass‑alloy product should be accompanied by a material test report confirming copper and zinc percentages and a compliance declaration for HS 7404.00. Prior to ordering, verify the supplier’s phytosanitary certificate for honey and vanilla, and confirm that the packaging meets the buyer’s market regulations (e.g., glass jar labelling for the EU).
