Tariff rates, FTA concessions, and duty calculator for Malawi imports (2026).
Malawi is located in Southern Africa and is a smaller source of goods imported into Australia. Australian businesses commonly import mineral resources, agricultural products, and metals from Malawi.
Australia does not currently have a free trade agreement with Malawi. Imports attract standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) duty rates under World Trade Organization rules. These range from 0% (duty-free) for many raw materials and industrial inputs, to 5% for most manufactured goods. Certain categories — particularly textiles, clothing, footwear, and some processed foods — may attract rates of up to 10%.
All goods imported from Malawi valued over AUD 1,000 require a formal customs declaration. Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10% applies to the customs value plus any duty payable. Depending on the product category, importers may also need to obtain import permits, arrange biosecurity inspections, or demonstrate compliance with Australian product safety standards. Use the landed cost calculator to estimate the total cost for a specific HS code.
Australia does not currently have a bilateral or regional free trade agreement covering Malawi. Standard MFN tariff rates apply to all imports. Check the full tariff schedule for product-specific rates.
