Tariff rates, FTA concessions, and duty calculator for Philippines imports (2026).
Philippines is located in Southeast Asia and is a significant source of goods imported into Australia. Australian businesses commonly import electronics, machinery, coconut oil, processed food, and copper products from Philippines.
Goods from Philippines may qualify for preferential duty rates under ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. Under these agreements, many product categories attract reduced or zero duty, provided the goods meet applicable rules of origin and importers present the required documentation. For products not covered by an FTA concession, Australia's standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rates apply — ranging from 0% for raw materials to 5% for most manufactured goods.
All goods imported from Philippines 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.
Import duty from Philippines to Australia depends on the product's HS code and whether it qualifies for preferential treatment under one of the AANZFTA, RCEP agreements. Standard MFN rates range from 0% to 10%, but FTA concessions can significantly reduce or eliminate duty on eligible goods. Use our landed cost calculator to compare MFN and FTA rates for a specific product.
To claim preferential duty rates under AANZFTA or RCEP, you must: (1) confirm the goods meet the agreement's rules of origin, (2) obtain the required proof of origin — Authorised Body issued COO or Authorised Body issued COO, (DOOs for AU, NZL & JPN) — and (3) present it to the Australian Border Force at the time of import. If you don't claim the preference at import, you can apply for a refund within four years.
Beyond customs duty, imports to Australia attract 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the customs value plus duty. The Australian Border Force levies an Import Processing Charge (IPC) on formal entries. Depending on the goods, you may also face biosecurity fees, product-specific levies, or anti-dumping duties. Our landed cost calculator includes all standard charges.
