What the origin — South Korea — changes
The standard (MFN / third-country) rate applies to goods from South Korea unless a measure for that origin says otherwise. Three kinds of measure depend on origin, and the calculator above resolves each for your tariff code and date:
- Preferences. Where Australia grants a preferential rate to South Korea under a trade agreement or scheme, it is shown as a separate scenario. It applies only if the goods meet the rules of origin and you hold proof. How preferential origin works.
- Trade remedies. Dumping and countervailing duties are administered by the Anti-Dumping Commission and are not in the ICS reference files LandedGrid ingests. Check the Dumping Commodity Register for your goods and country of export. About trade remedies.
- Additional tariffs. Australia applies no general origin-based additional tariffs beyond trade remedies in the data LandedGrid holds.
What LandedGrid does not calculate for this destination
- nomenclature: ABF publishes machine-readable codes and rates, but tariff descriptions only as PDF. Descriptions shown at HS 6-digit level come from another official nomenclature and are labelled.
- trade remedies: Dumping and countervailing duties are administered by the Anti-Dumping Commission and are not in the ICS reference files LandedGrid ingests. Check the Dumping Commodity Register for your goods and country of export.
- excise: Excise-equivalent customs duty on alcohol, tobacco and fuel, Wine Equalisation Tax and Luxury Car Tax are not calculated.
- regulatory: Biosecurity, permit and product-safety requirements are not yet covered.
- Tariff Concession Orders (TCOs) are not applied automatically.
