Australia is a close US ally and a significant trading partner, with bilateral trade governed by the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA), which entered into force in January 2005. AUSFTA has eliminated tariffs on the vast majority of goods traded between the two countries. Key US exports to Australia include machinery, aircraft, vehicles, and pharmaceuticals, while Australia exports beef, aluminum, gold, and wine to the United States.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
AUSFTA eliminated tariffs on nearly all goods traded between the US and Australia. Most industrial and consumer goods have been duty-free since the agreement's implementation, with agricultural goods phased in over longer schedules. Importers must meet rules-of-origin requirements to claim preferential rates.
Leading US imports from Australia include beef and veal, aluminum and aluminum products, gold, wine, and pharmaceutical products. Australia is one of the largest suppliers of beef to the US market.
To claim AUSFTA preferential rates, importers must have a certification of origin from the exporter or producer demonstrating that the goods meet the applicable rules of origin. CBP may request supporting records during post-entry audits.
