Tariff rates, FTA concessions, and duty calculator for France imports (2026).
France is located in the European Union and is a significant source of goods imported into Australia. Australian businesses commonly import aircraft and parts, wine and spirits, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and machinery from France. As a member of the European Union, France operates within the EU single market and common external trade policy.
Australia does not currently have a free trade agreement with France. Imports attract standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) duty rates under World Trade Organization rules. These range from 0% (duty-free) for many raw materials and industrial inputs, to 5% for most manufactured goods. Certain categories — particularly textiles, clothing, footwear, and some processed foods — may attract rates of up to 10%.
All goods imported from France valued over AUD 1,000 require a formal customs declaration. Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10% applies to the customs value plus any duty payable. Depending on the product category, importers may also need to obtain import permits, arrange biosecurity inspections, or demonstrate compliance with Australian product safety standards. Use the landed cost calculator to estimate the total cost for a specific HS code.
Australia does not currently have a bilateral or regional free trade agreement covering France. Standard MFN tariff rates apply to all imports. Check the full tariff schedule for product-specific rates.
