Importing from Taiwan into Australia (2026)

Taiwan is a major supplier of machinery, electronics, information technology hardware, and steel products to Australia, with companies like ASUS, Acer, and numerous OEM manufacturers representing significant import volumes. As no FTA exists, all goods attract standard MFN tariff rates, making cost management through accurate tariff classification and duty minimisation strategies particularly important for importers.

Compliance requirements for Taiwan-origin goods

⚠No FTA exists between Australia and Taiwan, so MFN (general) tariff rates apply to all goods; a commercial invoice or suppliers declaration confirming Taiwanese origin is sufficient for customs entry but no preferential certificate of origin is required or applicable
⚠Anti-dumping and countervailing duty measures are in force on certain Taiwanese goods including steel reinforcing bar, hollow structural sections, and aluminium extrusions - importers must check the Anti-Dumping Commission notice register and pay any applicable dumping duty margin at time of entry
⚠Electrical and electronic goods must comply with Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulations under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 and Telecommunications Act 1997, including mandatory supplier declarations of conformity and RCM marking before goods can be sold in Australia
⚠All goods of animal or plant origin, timber products, and machinery with soil or biological material risk are subject to strict Australian Border Force biosecurity inspection under the Biosecurity Act 2015, and importers should obtain import permits in advance for regulated goods to avoid costly delays or destruction orders
