Importing from Finland into Australia (2026)

Finland is a key source of high-value industrial machinery, telecommunications equipment, paper and pulp products, and advanced chemicals exported to Australia, with Nokia-ecosystem electronics and forest-industry outputs being particularly notable. As no Free Trade Agreement exists, all Finnish goods attract standard MFN tariff rates, typically ranging from 0% to 5% across most chapters.

No FTA — MFN rates apply

Compliance requirements for Finland-origin goods

  • No FTA exists between Australia and Finland, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods. A commercial invoice and packing list are required, but no preferential certificate of origin is needed as no preference is claimable.
  • Electrical and electronic goods from Finland must comply with Australian electrical safety standards and may require ACMA registration or RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) approval before importation and sale in Australia.
  • Timber, wood products, paper pulp and any goods containing plant-based materials are subject to DAFF biosecurity inspection and may require a phytosanitary certificate issued by Finnish authorities, given Finlands significant forestry and paper manufacturing sector.
  • Chemicals and industrial preparations imported under HS Chapter 38 must comply with NICNAS (AICIS) industrial chemical notification requirements, and Safety Data Sheets must meet Australian GHS formatting standards for customs and quarantine clearance.
