Asbestos is an umbrella term for many fibrous silicate minerals that are highly fire-resistant, electrically insulating, and insulating, and are important fireproof, insulating, and thermal insulation materials. There are nearly 3,000 asbestos products or products containing asbestos. It is mainly used in mechanical transmission, braking, heat preservation, fire prevention, heat insulation, anti-corrosion, sound insulation, insulation, etc., and is more common in manufacturing sectors such as automobiles, chemicals, electrical equipment, and construction industries.

However, asbestos fibers may be released during the use of asbestos products. If the human body inhales asbestos fibers, it will form lung scars, which can cause diseases such as asbestosis and pleural mesothelioma. All forms of asbestos are carcinogenic, and exposure to asbestos can cause diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, lung plaque, intercutaneous tumors, hydropleural, lung, laryngeal and ovarian cancers.

The Australian Border Force (ABF) screens products for potential asbestos content. In the event of unauthorized importation of asbestos-containing goods, ABF will seize the goods and criminally hold the importer criminally liable.

Australia has warned importers not to source goods from countries with asbestos industries to avoid the risk of asbestos content in their goods. If a manufacturer manufactures asbestos-containing goods in the same factory, other types of goods are also at risk of cross-contamination of asbestos.

Australian importers are required to provide conclusive proof that the goods are asbestos-free. It is recommended that an independent laboratory recognized by a national certification association issue a certificate certifying that the exported goods do not contain asbestos.

If the goods may contain asbestos, the importer can arrange for inspection or issue a certificate in advance before the goods are exported, so that the goods can be cleared smoothly. However, the definition of asbestos does not agree across countries, and products identified as asbestos-free in some countries may still contain small amounts of asbestos.

Australia's National Association of Testing Organisations (NATA) is the leading authority for accredited laboratories.
