Importing Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles from Türkiye into Australia (2026)

No Australia-Türkiye FTA exists, so all Chapter 85 electrical goods attract full MFN tariff rates with no preferential origin certificate available; the most critical compliance obligation is ensuring EESS registration and, for RF-enabled devices such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth products, a valid RCM mark under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 before the goods arrive at the Australian border.

No FTA — MFN rates applyHS Chapter 85

Compliance requirements

  • ⚠Register as responsible supplier on the EESS portal and obtain RECB certification for Level 3 devices prior to shipment.
  • ⚠Confirm all RF-enabled Turkish electrical goods carry a compliant RCM mark to avoid ABF seizure on arrival.
  • ⚠Verify no anti-dumping measures apply if goods include steel or aluminium components via the Anti-Dumping Commission register.
  • ⚠All electrical goods sold or supplied in Australia must comply with the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS); responsible suppliers must register products and themselves on the EESS portal before import or sale, with Level 3 equipment (e.g. power supplies, chargers) requiring certification by a Recognised External Certification Body (RECB)
  • ⚠ACMA regulates radiofrequency devices including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular products — these must comply with the Radiocommunications Act 1992 and carry a compliant RCM mark; importing non-compliant RF devices can result in ABF seizure at the border
  • ⚠Solar panels and inverters are subject to the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved product list requirements for any installation claiming Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) under the RET scheme — products not on the CEC list lose rebate eligibility, which directly affects resale value
  • ⚠Lithium battery shipments are subject to IATA/IMDG dangerous goods regulations for air and sea freight; misclassification of state of charge or watt-hour ratings is a common compliance failure that triggers re-inspection and delays at Australian ports
  • ⚠Anti-dumping measures are actively maintained on certain goods including aluminium extrusions and solar panels originating from China — importers should check the Anti-Dumping Commission's public register as dumping duties can add 5–40% to landed cost and apply retrospectively during investigation periods
  • ⚠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 technical specifications including model number, wattage, voltage, and country of manufacture
  • EESS supplier registration confirmation and product registration certificate (for in-scope electrical equipment)
  • RCM Declaration of Conformity and test reports from an accredited laboratory (for RF and electrical products)
  • certificate of origin (mandatory for FTA preferential tariff claims, e.g. Form E for ChAFTA, back-to-back COO for RCEP)
  • dangerous goods declaration and MSDS/SDS for lithium battery shipments

Import tip

When importing solar inverters or battery systems that may be subject to both EESS registration and CEC listing requirements, engage a compliance consultant before the shipment departs — retrofitting compliance documentation after goods arrive in a bonded warehouse is significantly more expensive than pre-shipment testing, and ABF can direct destruction of non-compliant goods.
