Importing from India into Australia (2026)

India is one of Australias most important and growing import partners, particularly renowned for supplying pharmaceuticals, refined petroleum, garments and textiles, cut gemstones, and engineering goods. The AIECTA, which entered into force in December 2022, provides staged tariff reductions on thousands of goods lines, making Indian-origin products increasingly competitive in the Australian market.
