A quick import duty calculator for China → Australia. Enter your goods value, freight and rate to estimate duty, GST and total landed cost. Australia’s general tariff is 5%, but the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) reduces most Chinese-origin goods — furniture included — to 0% (Free). The saving is real but conditional: you need a valid Certificate of Origin or Declaration of Origin proving the goods qualify, or you pay the full 5%.
This is an estimate. Your real rate depends on the exact HS classification of your goods — send us the product and we confirm the current rate and a full landed cost, free.
How the calculation works
Duty is charged on the customs value (goods + freight + insurance), not the factory price. With ChAFTA duty at 0%, your only import tax is 10% GST on the VoTI (customs value + freight + insurance). Miss the Certificate of Origin and 5% duty is added back before GST is calculated. GST-registered importers generally claim the import GST back as a credit on their BAS.

The calculator logic and rate guidance on this page reflects the Australian Border Force and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry practice and the applicable tariff schedule as of August 2026. Rates and procedures can change — we re-verify this page each quarter and confirm the rate for your specific HS code before you commit to an order. This is practical guidance, not a customs ruling on your particular goods.
