Importing from France into Australia (2026)

France is a major source of luxury and lifestyle goods for Australia, with wine, spirits, perfumes, cosmetics, fashion apparel, footwear, machinery and pharmaceuticals among the most significant import categories; as no Free Trade Agreement exists, all goods attract full MFN general tariff rates which commonly range from 0% to 10% depending on the HS classification.

No FTA — MFN rates apply
