Does NOT	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.
