AI-ECTA and duty

The Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA) entered into force on 29 December 2022. Australia's remaining tariffs on Indian goods were phased out by 1 January 2026. To claim the preference, the importer needs an AI-ECTA certificate of origin issued by an authorised body in India. It must follow the agreement's format and minimum information requirements, so its details must match the invoice. Importers in the Australian Trusted Trader programme may not need one. Confirm your line on the DFAT FTA Portal. GST of 10% still applies at import.

Care labelling

The ACCC's care labelling mandatory standard, the Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023, applies to clothing. Care instructions can be in English, in the international care symbols, or both. Send us your care text and we produce labels to match.

Children's nightwear and babywear

The children's nightwear mandatory standard covers nightwear in sizes 00 to 14 and some babywear, such as certain knitted all-in-ones in sizes 00 to 2. Covered garments must meet fire hazard requirements and carry a low or high fire danger label. Tell us if a babywear style could be in scope, so the fabric can be tested before bulk production.

Country of origin

Under the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Regulation 2016, imported textile products and clothing need a trade description naming the country where they were made. We print 'Made in India' on the label.

Documents, ports and transit

Consignments over AUD 1,000 need a full import declaration. Each shipment carries a commercial invoice with the HSN code on every line, a packing list, the bill of lading or air waybill, and the AI-ECTA certificate of origin. We ship from Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra or Chennai to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Fremantle. Sea transit is typically about 3 to 6 weeks, often with transhipment. Air freight leaves from Bengaluru (BLR).

Is there duty on Indian clothing in Australia now?

Australia's remaining tariffs on Indian goods under AI-ECTA were phased out by 1 January 2026. Your importer still needs a valid AI-ECTA certificate of origin to claim the preference, and 10% GST applies at import. Confirm your tariff line on the DFAT FTA Portal.

Does the nightwear standard apply to babywear?

It can. The mandatory standard covers children's nightwear in sizes 00 to 14 and certain babies' knitted all-in-ones in sizes 00 to 2. Send us the style details and we flag any garment that may need a fire danger label.

Do Australian care labels need words or symbols?

Either. The care labelling standard allows instructions in English, in the international care symbols, or both. Send us the wording or symbols you want and we print them.
