The entry page itself reads \"Welcome to the APVMA PubCRIS database search\".\n\n- Entry URL: `https://portal.apvma.gov.au/pubcris`\n- Alternative entry: `https://apvma.gov.au` homepage → \"Search PubCRIS to find information about APVMA-approved agvet chemical products\"\n- Pull date: 2026-07-20 (Tavily extract; direct curl was blocked by the portal's anti-bot, size=0)\n\n## PubCRIS Search Scope\n\nThe following fields can be searched in PubCRIS:\n\n- **Product name (产品名称)**\n- **Registering company (注册公司)**\n- **Active constituents (活性成分)**\n- **Product category (产品类别)**\n- Active Constituent approvals do not have expiry dates\n- Single keyword / multiple keywords / **Boolean search** (a \"Boolean search quick reference guide\" is provided)\n\n## Search Modes\n\n- **Basic search**: single/multiple keywords → instant results\n- **Advanced search options**: used to find stopped / cancelled / expired registrations\n- **Result sorting**: click the arrows in the column headers\n\n## Important Operational Note (2026-specific)\n\n> **Note 2 (2026 renewal cycle)**: Product registration end dates are updated in **July each year** following the determination of renewal applications. In **2026 it is anticipated that some validly lodged renewal applications will not be determined by 30 June 2026**. In these circumstances the **product registration end date is automatically extended until the renewal application is determined**. For affected applications PubCRIS will show a **notional end date starting with 31 July 2026 and updated monthly until the renewal application is determined**.\n\n- **2026 renewal anomaly**: some applications remain undetermined before 30 June → PubCRIS automatically displays a **notional end date starting 2026-07-31**, updated monthly; once the renewal is determined it is replaced by the actual renewed end date\n- **Note 3**: product label renewal takes effect in sync with product registration renewal\n- **Note 1**: Active Constituent approvals **have no expiry date**\n\n## Relevance to Pet Food / Veterinary Medicines (pet slice)\n\nPubCRIS covers **agvet chemical products** (agricultural + veterinary; full phrase \"APVMA-approved agvet chemical products\", per the apvma.gov.au homepage)\n\n- **Medicated feed additives (药用饲料添加剂)**\n- **Pet ectoparasiticides** (e.g. dog/cat flea/tick spot-ons, oral flea treatments)\n- **Veterinary vaccines and biologicals**\n- **NSAIDs / antiparasitics / antimicrobials for pets**\n- **Stockfeed and petfood regulation** (the apvma.gov.au homepage explicitly lists \"Stockfeed and petfood regulation\" as a registration branch; APVMA exercises registration authority over certain pet food additives / treatments)\n\n> Note: **registration of complete pet food formulations is not in APVMA PubCRIS**; it is jointly regulated by the state Departments of Agriculture / Stockfeed Authorities (NSW, QLD, VIC, etc.) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). APVMA regulates **agricultural chemicals and veterinary medicines** (including pet medicated feed additives).\n\n## Roadmap P0 Direction 0 - APVMA Advancement Plan\n\n| Phase | Task | Remarks |\n|---|---|---|\n| **AU-1** (this batch) | PubCRIS platform framework + search mechanism + 2026 renewal anomaly | Framework topic |\n| **AU-2** (follow-up) | Scrape PubCRIS \"veterinary\" + \"pet food\" category registered product lists | Requires submitting a form via the portal (curl POST form); or multiple simulated searches via Tavily extract |\n| **AU-3** (follow-up) | APVMA Gazette announcement batches (fortnightly) | Includes new products / label revisions / recalls |\n| **AU-4** (follow-up) | APVMA Stockfeed and Petfood Regulation special topic | Most directly relevant to the petfood-data-station theme |\n\n## Known Scraping Channel Limitations\n\n- `portal.apvma.gov.au` has anti-bot enabled: direct curl **returns 200 but size=0** (JavaScript rendering is blocked)\n- Tavily extract can bypass this (already used to obtain the full text of the entry page)\n- The PubCRIS search servlet path is **not public** (the portal submits via a form); later batches will need the `browser` tool or Tavily simulated search queries\n\n## Slice Navigation\n\n- PubCRIS data sample (later batch): see `02_veterinary_product_list_sample.md` (to be generated)\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/au-2026/apvma-pubcris-portal-20260720.txt` · APVMA PubCRIS entry page Tavily extract 2026-07-20\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":1151,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
