India to Australia — frequently asked questions
What are Australia’s quarantine rules for Indian cargo?
Australia’s biosecurity regime inspects goods with organic content — wooden packaging must be ISPM-15 treated, and food, textiles with natural fibres and handicrafts often need declarations or treatment. We screen every shipment against these rules before it leaves India.
Does the India–Australia ECTA reduce my import duty?
Many Indian-origin products enter Australia at reduced or zero duty under ECTA, provided origin is documented correctly. We prepare certificates of origin so your consignee can claim the preferential rate.
