Importing Iron and steel from Türkiye into Australia (2026)

No Australia-Türkiye FTA exists so full MFN tariff rates apply to all Chapter 72 steel imports, and importers must urgently verify the Anti-Dumping Commission register as active measures on Turkish flat-rolled steel and reinforcing bar can add significant duty liability beyond standard MFN rates.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 72

Compliance requirements

⚠Check the ABF Anti-Dumping Commission register before shipment to confirm if dumping or countervailing duties apply to your specific Turkish steel product.
⚠Obtain detailed Turkish mill certificates to support country-of-origin declarations and accurately calculate total landed duty costs.
⚠Confirm structural or pressure-vessel steel complies with AS/NZS 3678 or AS 1163 before arrival to avoid hold or seizure at the border.
⚠Anti-dumping and countervailing duties are a major risk for Chapter 72 — Australia has active measures on hot-rolled steel coil, rebar, and other products from China, South Korea, Taiwan, and other origins; always check the ABF Anti-Dumping Commission register before importing
⚠Steel products used in certain structural or pressure-vessel applications may need to comply with Australian Standards (e.g. AS/NZS 3678, AS 1163) and failure to declare non-conforming grades can trigger hold or seizure at the border
⚠Rebar and structural steel from some origins are subject to both dumping duty and countervailing duty simultaneously — importers must provide detailed mill certificates and country-of-origin evidence to correctly calculate landed cost
⚠DAFF biosecurity requirements apply to steel arriving with residual soil, biological material, or timber dunnage/packaging — ensure goods are clean and declare all packaging materials accurately to avoid treatment or destruction orders
⚠The Australian Steel Institute and some state government procurement policies require domestic preference for certain public infrastructure projects, which can affect whether imported steel may be used on government-funded contracts even if customs-cleared
⚠No FTA exists between Australia and Türkiye, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all imported goods; a commercial invoice and packing list are required for customs entry but no preferential certificate of origin is needed or applicable
⚠Anti-dumping and countervailing measures may apply to certain Turkish steel and aluminium products including flat-rolled steel and reinforcing bar; importers should check the Anti-Dumping Commission register before shipment to confirm if dumping duties or undertakings are in force
⚠Electrical and electronic goods must comply with Australian mandatory standards under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) and may require ACMA registration; products must carry the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) before being supplied to the Australian market
⚠Biosecurity conditions apply to goods containing natural fibres, wool, leather, timber, or plant-based materials such as Turkish carpets and rugs; these are subject to inspection by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and may require treatment or documentation to meet biosecurity import conditions

Key documents required

commercial invoice with full mill details, steel grade, chemical composition, and dimensions
mill test certificate (MTC) confirming compliance with nominated standard (e.g. AS/NZS, ASTM, EN, JIS)
bill of lading or sea waybill
certificate of origin (essential for FTA preferential rate claims and anti-dumping origin verification)
Anti-Dumping Commission show cause notice response documentation (if goods are subject to an investigation or interim measures)

Import tip

Always obtain the mill test certificate before shipment departs — ABF and the Anti-Dumping Commission frequently request this document to verify origin and grade, and delays in producing it post-arrival can result in costly storage charges at the wharf while goods are held pending assessment.
