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 Denmark into Australia (2026)

Importing Chapter 94 goods from Denmark attracts MFN tariff rates with no FTA concession available, meaning full duty applies across all subheadings; the most critical compliance obligation is ensuring electrical lighting fittings carry RCM marking under AS/NZS 3820 and timber furniture components meet DAFF biosecurity treatment requirements before Australian Customs clearance.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Obtain RCM certification for all luminaires and lighting fittings prior to shipment from Denmark.
  • ⚠Declare solid hardwood timber components to DAFF and confirm biosecurity treatment meets Biosecurity Act 2015 requirements.
  • ⚠Ensure commercial invoice explicitly states Denmark as country of origin to satisfy MFN customs entry requirements.
  • ⚠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
  • ⚠Timber furniture and products containing solid wood may be subject to DAFF biosecurity inspection and treatment requirements under the Biosecurity Act 2015 particularly for solid hardwood components and packing material
  • ⚠The Australian Furniture Industry mandatory safety recall obligations under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 apply to importers who are considered the deemed manufacturer for products sourced offshore
  • ⚠Anti-dumping measures have previously been applied to certain steel shelving and furniture components originating from specific countries and importers should check the Anti-Dumping Commission register prior to shipment
  • ⚠No FTA exists between Australia and Denmark, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods; a commercial invoice with accurate country of origin declaration is required for customs entry but no preferential certificate of origin is applicable
  • ⚠Pharmaceutical and medical device imports from Denmark must comply with TGA registration or listing requirements under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, with applicable permits obtained prior to importation
  • ⚠Electrical and electronic goods must meet Australian electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety standards, with ACMA compliance labelling and state-based electrical safety approval (RCM mark) required before sale in Australia
  • ⚠Biosecurity declarations and DAFF inspection are mandatory for any goods containing timber, wood packaging material, dairy ingredients, animal-derived products or live biologicals, with ISPM-15 treatment required for all wood packaging

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.
