Importing from Iraq to Australia

Tariff rates, FTA concessions, and duty calculator for Iraq imports (2026).

Trade Overview

Iraq is located in the Middle East and is a smaller source of goods imported into Australia. Australian businesses commonly import petroleum products, chemicals, and plastics from Iraq.

Australia does not currently have a free trade agreement with Iraq. 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 Iraq 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.

Free Trade Agreements

Australia does not currently have a bilateral or regional free trade agreement covering Iraq. Standard MFN tariff rates apply to all imports. Check the full tariff schedule for product-specific rates.
