Amazon Australia

Listing language: English (Australian)

Referral Fees & Costs

Australian referral fees are generally 6–15% depending on category, denominated in AUD. GST (Goods and Services Tax) at 10% applies to all sales to Australian customers — Amazon collects and remits GST for sellers below the $75,000 AUD threshold under the low-value goods rules.

Listing Requirements

  • Australian consumer law requires compliance with Australian Consumer Law (ACL), including mandatory consumer guarantees — listings cannot waive these rights
  • Electrical products must meet Australian/New Zealand standards (AS/NZS) and carry the RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) for electrical safety
  • Products containing hazardous materials must comply with Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS)
  • Food products must meet Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) requirements for labeling and composition
  • Measurement system is metric — all weights, dimensions, and volumes should be in kg, cm, and liters
  • Product descriptions should use Australian English (favour, colour, metre, organise)

Common Errors on This Marketplace

  • US-centric listing content without adaptation for Australian English or local context
  • RCM mark not obtained for electrical products, causing listing removal
  • Imperial measurements without metric equivalents
  • Health claims that are permitted in the US but violate Australian therapeutic goods (TGA) regulations
  • Products listed in AU marketplace without ensuring Australian customs clearance and import compliance

Shipping & FBA Notes

Amazon Australia FBA operates from a fulfillment center in Sydney. The AU marketplace is growing but has fewer FBA capacity options than US or EU. Many sellers use FBM for AU.
