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 Israel into Australia (2026)

Importing Chapter 94 furniture and lighting fittings from Israel attracts full MFN tariff rates with no FTA concession available, meaning importers must budget for standard general rates while simultaneously ensuring RCM certification for any electrical lighting and AS/NZS 8124 flammability compliance for upholstered goods before Australian border clearance. Solid timber components in Israeli furniture shipments are a particular biosecurity risk requiring DAFF inspection and potential treatment under the Biosecurity Act 2015, including all solid hardwood packing materials.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Obtain RCM marking and AS/NZS 3820 compliance for all electrical lighting fittings prior to shipment from Israel.
  • ⚠Ensure Israeli commercial invoice explicitly declares country of origin to satisfy MFN documentation requirements at Australian customs entry.
  • ⚠Declare solid hardwood furniture components and timber packing to DAFF on arrival to avoid biosecurity treatment delays and cost.
  • ⚠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 Israel so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods; a commercial invoice and packing list confirming Israeli origin are required for entry documentation
  • ⚠Pharmaceutical and chemical products (Chapters 29, 30, 38) may require TGA registration or AICIS (formerly NICNAS) assessment prior to importation, and detailed safety data sheets must accompany shipments
  • ⚠Electrical and electronic goods (Chapter 85) must comply with ACMA regulatory arrangements including RCM marking under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) before being supplied in the Australian market
  • ⚠Biosecurity Act 2015 requirements apply to any organic material, food products, cosmetics or goods with plant or animal inputs; an Import Permit may be required and ABF biosecurity inspections are likely at the border

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.
