Indian Coffee Supplier Australia
Source Indian coffee for the Australian market
LIT COFFEE supplies Indian coffee for commercial buyers looking for green coffee, Arabica, Robusta and other bulk formats. Australian importers can request specifications, available quantities, packaging and a shipping quotation based on their requirements.
For Australian imports, the commercial process is more than choosing a coffee origin. Buyers should confirm the Australian tariff classification, current biosecurity conditions, food requirements, documents, packing method and freight terms before shipment.
Australia Import Requirements
Check BICON before shipping coffee to Australia
Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) uses the Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON) to determine whether a commodity is permitted and what conditions, supporting documents, treatment or permits may apply. The exact conditions can depend on the commodity, country of export, preparation, packaging and intended use.
Green coffee
DAFF identifies green coffee beans as a lower-risk pathway, but applicable BICON conditions still need to be met.
Phytosanitary certificate
DAFF states that green coffee must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate under the applicable pathway.
Food requirements
Food imported for sale must also comply with Australian food standards and imported-food controls.
Country & pathway
Confirm the India-to-Australia pathway in BICON before preparing the shipment.
Packing method
Packing and presentation can affect biosecurity requirements, so confirm the shipment configuration.
Arrival
Biosecurity clearance and possible inspection are handled under Australian import procedures.
HS 0901
Coffee tariff classification in Australia
Australian Border Force lists coffee under tariff heading 0901, covering coffee whether or not roasted or decaffeinated. The tariff schedule includes separate lines for unroasted and roasted coffee.
Tariff treatment can depend on the exact classification and applicable measures. Buyers should verify the current Australian Border Force tariff before a commercial shipment.
