Australian Tariff Reform

Dear Valued Customer,

C.H. Robinson wishes to advise of tariff reform and the removal of nuisance tariffs by the Australian Government over the next four years.

The government will abolish around 500 tariffs in the biggest unilateral tariff reform to boost productivity, reduce compliance costs for businesses and ease the cost of living for Australian family by over $120 million dollars. 

From July 1, 2024, tariffs will be abolished on a range of imported goods including household necessities such as toothbrushes, tools, fridges, dishwashers and clothing.

This is an important step in simplifying Australia’s trade system and removing compliance burdens for Australian firms. After successive trade agreements, most goods are now imported duty-free. This means that businesses spend time and money proving their imports are eligible for existing tariff preferences and concessions.

Thank you for being our Valued Customer. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the notice held within, please contact your Key Account Manager or a C.H. Robinson representative.

Sincerely, 
C.H. Robinson.
