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 Romania into Australia (2026)

No Australia-Romania FTA exists, so all Chapter 94 goods attract full MFN tariff rates; the most critical compliance obligation is ensuring electrical lighting fittings carry RCM marking under AS/NZS 3820 and that upholstered furniture meets ACCC flammability standards before shipment departs Romania.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 94

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Verify RCM certification for any luminaires or lighting fittings prior to loading in Romania
  • ⚠Arrange DAFF biosecurity inspection for solid hardwood furniture components and timber packing material
  • ⚠Check the Anti-Dumping Commission public register for measures on steel or aluminium furniture frames from Romania
  • ⚠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 Romania, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods; a commercial invoice and packing list are required but no preferential certificate of origin is needed for MFN assessment
  • ⚠Anti-dumping and countervailing measures administered by the Anti-Dumping Commission may apply to certain steel and aluminium products originating from Romania or transshipped via EU member states; importers should check the public register before lodging entries
  • ⚠Electrical and electronic goods, including machinery and appliances under Chapters 84 and 85, must comply with Australian electrical safety standards and may require ACMA registration or RCM marking before being supplied to the Australian market
  • ⚠Timber products, wooden furniture, and any goods containing plant-based materials are subject to biosecurity inspection by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and may require a Timber Import Declaration; footwear and apparel with natural material components may also be subject to biosecurity screening on arrival

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.
