Documentation we ship with every consignment
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading
- Certificate of Origin under ECTA (for preferential duty)
- Phytosanitary certificate (DAFF biosecurity is strict)
- TGA listing for therapeutic and supplement products
- AQIS-compliant ISPM-15 wood treatment certificate (mandatory)
Australia operates one of the world's strictest biosecurity regimes through DAFF. Every shipment is potentially inspected. ISPM-15 wood treatment is non-negotiable. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates all supplements, herbal remedies, and pharma. Listing required before sale. GST is 10% at import. ECTA gives 96.4% of Indian exports immediate duty-free access: a significant uplift over the previous WTO MFN rates.
Frequently asked: India to Australia
How do I claim ECTA duty-free benefit on Indian imports to Australia?
Request a Certificate of Origin under ECTA from your Indian supplier. We issue it through the EIC. With the COO attached to the import declaration, Australian Border Force applies the preferential 0% duty rate on 96.4% of eligible tariff lines.
Can I sell Indian Ayurvedic supplements in Australia?
Yes, subject to TGA listing. Therapeutic Goods Administration regulates all therapeutic and supplement claims. We supply manufacturer-side documentation: GMP certificate, COA per batch, full ingredient declaration, heavy-metal and microbial panels, and TGA-required active-ingredient information.
How strict is Australian biosecurity (DAFF) on Indian shipments?
Strict. Every wooden pallet must carry ISPM-15 heat-treatment or methyl-bromide-fumigation stamp. Containers are randomly inspected for soil, plant matter, and live insects. Documentation paperwork — phytosanitary certificate, declaration of contents — must be precise. We pre-clear documentation with our Australian customs broker partners.
How long does ocean shipping from India to Australia take?
18-22 days from JNPT to Port Botany (Sydney) on direct services; 20-24 days to Melbourne; 22-26 days to Fremantle. Air freight via SYD/MEL from DEL/BOM in 1-3 days.
Which Indian textile categories ship best to Australia under ECTA?
Women's ethnic and contemporary apparel, leather garments and accessories, handicrafts (wood, brass, marble), and home textiles. Duty went from 4-10% MFN to 0% under ECTA, making Indian textiles structurally cheaper for Australian retailers and importers.
