Importing Aluminium and articles thereof from Peru into Australia (2026)

Aluminium extrusions and articles from Peru can attract a 5% preferential duty rate under CPTPP, but the Peruvian exporter must provide a valid CPTPP Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration confirming Peruvian manufacture, as ABF will scrutinise whether product is genuinely Peruvian-origin rather than Chinese-origin extrusions transshipped through Peru to circumvent active anti-dumping measures under ADN 2010/37.

✓ FTA Active: CPTPPHS Chapter 76

Chapter 76 goods originating in Peru may qualify for preferential duty rates under CPTPP. Goods must meet the rules of origin and be accompanied by a valid certificate of origin.

Compliance requirements

⚠Obtain a manufacturer-level Certificate of Origin from Peru confirming no Chinese-origin aluminium input triggers anti-dumping exposure.
⚠If goods are aluminium composite panels for building use, verify NCC fire performance compliance before shipment departs Lima.
⚠Ensure CPTPP origin declaration references the correct HS tariff heading to satisfy Rules of Origin and unlock preferential duty rates.
⚠Australia has active anti-dumping measures on aluminium extrusions from China (ADN 2010/37 and subsequent reviews) — importers must check the Anti-Dumping Commission register before contracting, as interim dumping duties can apply retrospectively and stack on top of Customs duty
⚠Aluminium composite panels (ACP) used in building facades must comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) fire performance requirements; since the Greystone/Lacrosse incidents, state building authorities audit cladding imports and ABF may refer suspect product to state regulators
⚠Country of origin for FTA preference claims on aluminium products requires careful scrutiny — Chinese-origin extrusions processed through a third country (e.g., Vietnam or Malaysia) must meet RCEP or AANZFTA change-in-tariff-heading rules and be supported by a valid back-to-back or manufacturer's certificate of origin
⚠Timber or organic packing material used with aluminium shipments (e.g., wooden dunnage, pallets) requires ISPM-15 treated timber or DAFF biosecurity clearance — non-compliant wood packaging can trigger costly treatment or destruction orders at the border
⚠Aluminium electrical conductors and cable products may require compliance with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1125, AS/NZS 3000 series) and ACMA registration if they incorporate connectors or termination hardware — confirm with the relevant state electrical safety regulator before importing
⚠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 clearly stating alloy grade, temper designation (e.g., 6063-T5), dimensions, and unit weight — essential for correct tariff classification and anti-dumping assessment
mill test certificate (MTC) / material test report confirming chemical composition and mechanical properties, required by most downstream manufacturers and sometimes requested by ABF to verify classification
certificate of origin (preferential, e.g., RCEP Form or ChAFTA CO) issued by an authorised body in the exporting country to access concessional duty rates
Anti-Dumping Commission dumping duty deposit or exemption documentation if goods are subject to measures (particularly Chinese-origin extrusions)
packing list and bill of lading or airway bill with full container/package details including gross and net weights per line item

Import tip

Lodge a tariff classification ruling request with the ABF before your first shipment of aluminium extrusions or composite panels — given the active anti-dumping landscape and NCC cladding scrutiny, having a binding ruling on classification and a confirmed dumping duty position protects you from retrospective liability that can exceed the value of the goods themselves.
