Importing from Italy into Australia (2026)

Italy is one of Australias most important European trading partners, notably exporting high-value machinery, luxury motor vehicles, premium fashion and footwear, fine wines, olive oil, ceramics, and designer furniture to Australia. All goods are subject to MFN tariff rates, typically ranging from 0% to 10% depending on the commodity, with no preferential concessions available in the absence of an Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement.

Compliance requirements for Italy-origin goods

  • No FTA exists between Australia and Italy, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all imported goods - no preferential Certificate of Origin is required, though a standard commercial invoice detailing country of origin is essential for tariff classification purposes
  • Anti-dumping and countervailing measures administered by the Anti-Dumping Commission may apply to certain Italian goods such as steel reinforcing bar and hollow structural sections - importers should check the Anti-Dumping Commission register before lodging entries
  • Electrical and electronic goods must comply with Australian mandatory standards under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) and may require ACMA registration for radio communications devices before importation
  • Biosecurity Act 2015 requirements apply to goods containing timber, leather, natural stone, or food products such as olive oil and cured meats - these may be subject to inspection, treatment, or import permits issued by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
