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 Thailand into Australia (2026)

Importing Chapter 94 goods from Thailand under AANZFTA preferential rates requires a valid Form AI Certificate of Origin confirming CTC or RVC thresholds are met, while simultaneously ensuring electrical lighting fittings carry RCM marking and timber furniture components meet DAFF biosecurity treatment requirements before Australian border clearance. The combination of FTA origin verification and multi-regulator product compliance makes pre-shipment documentation checks critical for Thai furniture and lighting imports.

Key documents required

  • 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

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.
