Importing Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; luminaires and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings from Austria into Australia (2026)

Importing Chapter 94 goods from Austria attracts MFN tariff rates with no FTA concession available, meaning full duty applies across all furniture, lighting, and bedding lines; critically, electrical luminaires must carry RCM marking and comply with AS/NZS 3820 before Australian customs entry is granted. Timber furniture with solid hardwood components sourced from Austrian manufacturers must also be declared for DAFF biosecurity inspection, as European hardwood species remain subject to treatment requirements under the Biosecurity Act 2015.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Ensure the commercial invoice explicitly declares Austrian origin to satisfy MFN documentation requirements at customs entry.
  • ⚠Register electrical luminaires with the relevant state or territory Electrical Safety Regulator and confirm RCM marking before shipment departs.
  • ⚠Declare all solid timber furniture components to DAFF on arrival and arrange approved biosecurity treatment to avoid costly border delays.
  • ⚠Upholstered furniture and mattresses must comply with AS/NZS 8124 and relevant ACCC product safety standards for flammability and chemical content
  • ⚠Electrical lighting fittings must carry RCM marking and comply with AS/NZS 3820 before supply to the Australian market and must be declared to the Electrical Safety Regulator in the relevant state or territory

Key documents required

  • commercial invoice detailing material composition and unit values
  • bill of lading or airway bill
  • packing list with cubic measurements and weights
  • country of origin certificate or manufacturer declaration for FTA duty preference claims
  • RCM compliance declaration and test reports for any electrical lighting fittings

Import tip

Declare the full material composition of upholstered goods and mattresses on the commercial invoice including foam density and fabric type as ABF and DAFF officers frequently query these details and having them upfront significantly reduces the risk of holds and costly delays at the border.
