Market Guide
Importing Custom Golf Bags to Australia
Importing custom golf bags to Australia benefits from China-Australia FTA (ChAFTA) preferences on qualifying goods, 10% GST on import, and straightforward textile labeling. Sea freight from Xiamen is the second-shortest of our markets at 18–26 days to Sydney.
Compliance Essentials for Australia
- Classification: 4202.92 family; ChAFTA certificates of origin can reduce duty on qualifying goods — we issue COs with the shipment.
- GST: 10% on import value — recoverable for registered businesses.
- Labeling: fiber content, origin and care per Australian Consumer Law conventions.
- ACCC: general consumer product safety; no golf-bag-specific regime.
