AustraliaCustoms — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard import duty rate in Australia?
Most goods imported into Australia attract 0% or 5% duty. Australia has eliminated duties entirely for many categories and has preferential rates under its extensive network of free trade agreements. The Working Tariff at abf.gov.au shows the rate applicable for each commodity code and country of origin.
Does GST apply to imports into Australia?
Yes. A 10% GST applies to most goods imported into Australia. For commercial importations, GST is collected at the border along with any applicable customs duty. For low-value goods (under AUD 1,000) purchased from overseas online retailers, GST is collected by the vendor at point of sale.
How does the Australia-India ECTA affect import duties?
The Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), in force since December 2022, eliminated or reduced tariffs on a wide range of goods traded between the two countries. Australian exporters to India and Indian exporters to Australia benefit from preferential rates on qualifying goods with the right certificate of origin.
