Compliance requirements

  • Obtain the AANZFTA Form AAN Certificate of Origin from your Indonesian supplier before shipment to claim 0% preferential duty.
  • Verify all garments carry compliant AS/NZS 1957 care labels and correct country-of-origin markings prior to loading in Indonesia.
  • If importing hi-visibility workwear, confirm AS/NZS 4602.1 and 1906.4 compliance documentation is secured before placing the order.
  • Australia has active anti-dumping measures on certain woven apparel from China and other countries — check the Anti-Dumping Commission's public register before placing orders as additional dumping duties can significantly alter landed cost
  • All garments must comply with mandatory AS/NZS care labelling standards (AS/NZS 1957) and country-of-origin labelling requirements under the Australian Consumer Law — mislabelled goods can be seized or face penalties
  • Hi-visibility garments for workplace use must comply with AS/NZS 4602.1 and 1906.4 — non-compliant workwear may be rejected by end customers in regulated industries such as mining and construction
  • Garments treated with flame retardants, antimicrobial finishes or other chemical treatments may require assessment under the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 (AICIS) if the chemical is not on the Inventory — verify introducer obligations before importing
  • Goods containing animal-derived components (e.g. down fill, wool trims, leather patches) may attract DAFF biosecurity documentation requirements — ensure export health certificates or treatment declarations accompany consignments where applicable
  • An AANZFTA Certificate of Origin (Form AAN) or a Declaration of Origin from an approved exporter must be held at time of entry to claim preferential tariff rates under AANZFTA
  • Timber and wood products (Chapter 44) and rattan or bamboo furniture are subject to mandatory biosecurity inspection and may require an Import Permit under the Biosecurity Act 2015, with risk of treatment or destruction if pests are detected
  • Electrical and electronic goods must comply with Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) standards and carry the RCM mark, with supplier declarations of conformity required prior to import
  • Palm oil and crude petroleum products are subject to strict Australian Border Force valuation scrutiny and may attract GST and customs duty assessments; anti-dumping measures should be checked against the Anti-Dumping Commission register for specific steel, aluminium, and paper product lines

Key documents required

  • commercial invoice with full fabric composition (fibre type and percentage) and country of origin clearly stated
  • bill of lading or airway bill
  • packing list with individual garment quantities and sizes
  • certificate of origin (e.g. Form E for ChAFTA, AANZ Form for AANZFTA) to claim preferential tariff rates
  • care labelling compliance declaration or test report confirming AS/NZS 1957 and relevant safety standards for workwear

Import tip

Always declare fibre composition at the subheading level on your import entry — ABF routinely queries Chapter 62 classifications where the fabric mix determines the correct 6- or 8-digit tariff code, and providing lab test reports upfront avoids costly holding delays at the border.
