What Australian duties apply to US goods?
Australia applies its own tariff schedule. AUSFTA allows most US goods to enter duty-free or at reduced rates. GST at 10% applies on imports over AUD 1,000. Strict biosecurity rules add compliance costs. ExFreight assesses total duty exposure and identifies AUSFTA savings.
