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 Pakistan into Australia (2026)

Australia has no FTA with Pakistan, so all Chapter 94 goods attract MFN tariff rates and require non-preferential origin documentation; importers must simultaneously satisfy ACCC flammability standards for upholstered furniture, RCM marking for lighting fittings, and DAFF biosecurity inspection for any solid timber components sourced from Pakistani manufacturers.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Obtain a non-preferential certificate of origin from Pakistani exporters to confirm MFN tariff classification at the border.
  • ⚠Verify RCM marking and AS/NZS 3820 compliance for all electrical lighting fittings before shipment departs Pakistan.
  • ⚠Declare solid hardwood furniture components to DAFF on arrival; arrange biosecurity treatment to avoid costly hold or rejection.
  • ⚠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 Pakistan, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods. A non-preferential certificate of origin or commercial documentation confirming Pakistani origin is recommended for tariff classification and trade statistical purposes.
  • ⚠Textiles, apparel and made-up textile articles from Pakistan must comply with Australian Consumer Law mandatory fibre content and care labelling requirements under the Trade Measurement Act. Mislabelled or uncertified goods risk detention or rejection by Border Force.
  • ⚠Biosecurity risk is elevated for goods such as raw cotton, seeds, spices, dried plant material and natural stone. An import permit may be required and goods are subject to DAFF biosecurity inspection on arrival, with potential treatment or re-export costs if non-compliant.
  • ⚠Leather footwear, surgical instruments and sporting goods (notably cricket equipment) must meet applicable Australian product safety standards. Importers should retain supplier compliance documentation and be aware that the ACCC conducts market surveillance that can trigger mandatory recalls or penalty notices.

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.
