Why Export To Malaysia?

Malaysia is a burgeoning economy, with a growing population of around 32 million people. In recent years, there have been huge developments in construction and infrastructure, meaning doors are being opened for Australians seeking to do business there. Hundreds of businesses are making use of sea freight services Malaysia-Australia to perform their imports and exports, relying on companies such as TSL to organise the operation from start to finish.

What’s more, the Free Trade Agreement between Australia has made it easier to export goods to Malaysia, reducing tariffs on produce on arrival. The Malaysia-Australia Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA) means that many items have no duty on them at all. Malaysia has undertaken to eliminate or reduce import tariffs on 99% of its tariff lines by 2020, so it’s one to keep an eye on.

Documentation

To benefit from the MAFTA, exports from Australia into Malaysia need to be accompanied by a DOO (Declaration of Origin). Of course, TSL can organise this for you – we do provide a comprehensive service, after all.
