For eligible, non-controlled laboratory reagents, domestic delivery is available within Australia. Orders covered by this service are dispatched from within the country. Available delivery options depend on the destination, carrier acceptance and any product-specific handling requirements.
Regulatory considerations
“Research chemical” is a descriptive term, not a legal category. In Australia, the Poisons Standard classifies medicines and poisons into schedules that are implemented through relevant state and territory laws. The Office of Drug Control also explains that controlled substances, including narcotic, psychotropic and precursor substances, require permission for import or export. Other state or territory requirements may apply to possession, supply and use.
Before placing an order
Check the substance identity, its current classification and the rules that apply at the delivery address. A catalogue listing or “for research use” label does not establish that a material is lawful to purchase or possess. Domestic delivery information on this page applies only to materials that may legally be supplied and transported to the recipient; it is not a statement that controlled psychoactive substances are available.
