Importing clothing from Pakistan into Australia: what to check

Bringing clothing from Sialkot to Australia comes down to duty, GST, labelling, sizing and seasonal timing. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the Australian Border Force, the ACCC or your customs broker before you finalise a landed cost.

Duty and customs entry

Duty depends on the tariff classification of each garment and its country of origin. Your customs broker lodges the import declaration and can tell you the rate that applies to your products.

GST

GST applies to most imported goods and is part of your landed cost. Your broker or accountant can confirm how it applies to your order value.

FOB or DDP

On FOB terms we deliver to the port in Pakistan and you or your freight forwarder take it from there. On DDP terms we arrange delivery to your address, and how duties and taxes are handled is confirmed with your quote.

Labelling and safety

Clothing sold in Australia must carry a care label that meets the national care-labelling standard, and any origin claim must be accurate. Children’s nightwear and clothing with cords have mandatory safety standards, so tell us at the start if you plan kidswear.

Sizing

Send your size chart with measurements, whether you sell numeric sizes such as 6 to 16 or alpha sizes. We grade to your chart and check the sample against it.

Planning around the southern seasons

Work backwards from your launch: freight, 20 to 35 business days of bulk, sample approval and 7 to 14 business days for the first sample. A summer range usually needs ordering well before spring.

New Zealand brands

We also make for New Zealand brands. The MOQ, sample and bulk times are the same. New Zealand has its own customs process and consumer labelling rules, so check them with NZ Customs or your broker. See also our pages for UK brands and worldwide shipping.
