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 Poland into Australia (2026)

No Australia-Poland FTA exists, so all Chapter 94 goods attract MFN tariff rates; the most critical compliance obligation for this combination is ensuring electrical lighting fittings carry RCM marking under AS/NZS 3820 and that upholstered furniture meets AS/NZS 8124 flammability standards before Australian customs clearance is attempted.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Verify RCM marking on all luminaires and lighting fittings prior to shipment from Poland to avoid ABF detention.
  • ⚠Inspect and treat solid timber components and wooden packing materials to satisfy DAFF biosecurity requirements under the Biosecurity Act 2015.
  • ⚠Check the Anti-Dumping Commission measures register for any Polish or EU steel furniture components before lodging the import declaration.
  • ⚠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 Poland so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods; a commercial invoice or EUR.1 movement certificate may be requested by the ABF to verify declared origin but confers no tariff preference
  • ⚠Anti-dumping and countervailing measures administered by the Anti-Dumping Commission may apply to certain steel and aluminium products of Polish or EU origin; importers should check the measures register before lodging an import declaration
  • ⚠Electrical and electronic goods including machinery and appliances must comply with Australian standards under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) and telecommunications or radio devices require ACMA registration or compliance labelling before entry
  • ⚠Timber, wood packaging, and any goods with plant-based material or organic residues are subject to DAFF biosecurity inspection and may require a valid phytosanitary certificate issued by Polish authorities; wood packaging must comply with ISPM 15 heat treatment requirements

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.
