Why Classification Comes First
Every imported product is classified under the Australian customs tariff. That classification, together with the customs value and origin, drives the duty assessed and can affect whether other import rules apply. A wrong classification can mean paying the wrong amount and correcting it later.
Classification depends on what the product is made of, how it works and how it is presented, not on the supplier's marketing name. Two similar looking items can fall under different headings.

How a Consultation Helps Your Decision
We review product specifications, supplier invoices and origin information, then explain the likely classification and the reasoning behind it. Where the answer is uncertain, the Australian Border Force offers tariff advice, and we can help you prepare that request.
Free trade agreements may reduce duty, but only when the goods meet the agreement's rules of origin and the right evidence is held. We help you check what is required. We do not promise savings or give tax or legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tell me the duty rate for my product?
We can explain how the rate is determined for a specific classification and origin. We do not quote a general figure, because the rate depends on details that differ between products.
When should I ask the Australian Border Force for tariff advice?
It can be useful for regular imports, high value lines or products that could reasonably fit more than one heading. We can help you decide whether a request makes sense and what to include.
Does a free trade agreement mean no duty?
Not automatically. The goods must meet the agreement's origin rules, and the claim needs supporting evidence. If the conditions are not met, the standard treatment applies.
Planning a New Import Line?
Send the product specifications and supplier details. We will review the classification and origin questions before you commit.
