📋 Direct Answer

Australia import duties on Chinese goods: (1) Most products are 0% MFN rate (Australia has low tariffs), (2) Some textiles and clothing: 5-10%, (3) Australia-ChFTA (Free Trade Agreement) provides additional preferential rates. De minimis: A$1,000 per shipment (goods under this are duty-free). GST (10%) applies on all imports over A$1,000.
