Compliance requirements

⚠Obtain a CPTPP Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration from your Peruvian supplier before shipment arrives.
⚠Verify all garments carry compliant AS/NZS 1957 care labels and correct country-of-origin markings to avoid seizure.
⚠Check the Anti-Dumping Commission register to confirm no active measures apply to your specific woven apparel tariff lines.
⚠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
⚠A CPTPP Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration must be provided by the Peruvian exporter to claim preferential tariff rates under the CPTPP; goods must meet applicable Rules of Origin requirements
⚠All fresh, chilled or frozen fish, seafood and agricultural products from Peru are subject to mandatory biosecurity inspection and may require import permits under the Biosecurity Act 2015; treatment or certification may be required for timber and wood products
⚠Organic produce and food products must comply with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) requirements and labelling standards under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, including country of origin labelling
⚠Imports of gold, silver and jewellery may be subject to scrutiny under AML/CTF reporting obligations, and all commercial imports must be lodged via a full Import Declaration in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) for consignments valued over AUD 1,000

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.
