ECTA 0% TARIFF · IN EFFECT FROM 1 JAN 2026
About BulkCore

Built on a single
structural advantage.

We are an Australian-led manufacturer of industrial and agricultural plastic packaging. Our production unit in Navsari, Gujarat builds to your spec; our Adelaide HQ handles sales, AUD invoicing and last-mile delivery — for a landed cost no domestic supplier can match.

What we do

We manufacture four kinds of plastic packaging in our Indian production unit and ship them to Australian businesses — taking advantage of the India–Australia ECTA.

ECTA
India–Australia ECTA

The structural cost edge that compounds on every container.

The India–Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement removes import tariffs on virtually all Indian-origin goods entering Australia. The final tariff lines on plastic packaging hit zero on 1 January 2026. Our Navsari production unit runs at 20–35% below comparable factory benchmarks, letting us land a bag in Australia at 25–40% below most competitors — and still keep healthy margin.

This is not a one-off saving. It compounds on every container, every reorder, for the life of the agreement.

How we operate

Order-first. Zero inventory.

We never hold finished stock. We never produce without a PO. We never start a production line without your deposit. Every container is built to a confirmed order — which is why our working capital cycles fast and our landed pricing stays low.

Customer issues PO with 50% deposit. Spec locked, FX locked for 7 days.

Our priorities, in your priority order

What our buyers actually care about.

From a thousand conversations with mill managers, procurement leads and founders, we've ranked what wins business — and what doesn't.

01 / Above all

Reliability.

Can you actually deliver the bag, in the spec, on the date you promised? This is #1. Most vendors fail here. We don't.

02

Spec compliance.

ISO 21898 for FIBC. Food-grade for BOPP. UV-validation for mulch film. EN17033 for biodegradable. Non-negotiable.

03

Total landed cost.

Not the lowest factory gate price. The lowest cost to your door, in AUD, with duty and freight included.

04

Single point of contact.

You don't want to deal with India, customs, freight forwarders. One Australian counterpart handles the entire chain.

05

Customisation.

Print, size, GSM, baffle, valve, liner. Domestic suppliers often won't do small-batch custom. We will.

What we don't lead with

Sustainability slogans.

Where you need certified outcomes — APCO, ABA, EN17033 — we deliver them. Slogans without certs aren't compliance.

What we de-risk for you

The four ways a packaging vendor goes wrong — and how we don't.

Production quality slip.

A container of bags fails ISO 21898. Customer walks. Our hedge: Pre-shipment inspection on every container. In-house QC reports on file. Retainage clauses on first orders.

AUD/INR currency swing.

Indian invoice in INR, your invoice in AUD. Our hedge: 7-day FX-locked quotes. Forward contracts on orders > $100k. You see one AUD number, full stop.

Compliance change.

APCO 2030 targets. WA biodegradable mandates. Food-grade rule changes. Our hedge: We track the regulatory pipeline and lead with compliant variants where applicable.

Single production-line dependency.

One production-line incident shouldn't shut down your supply. Our hedge: Parallel production lines and qualified partner facilities for every product family, ready to step in on the same spec.
