Importance Of Customs Invoices In Australia

By Belinda Norbert


It is important to know even the slightest details aside from customs regulations before you ship any type of cargo to Australia. One is the use of shipping containers. There are units for exclusive use or those that can be shared by multiple shippers. There are 20 and 40 footer containers that you can select from. Prices vary so ask for different estimates to become more cost-efficient.

The first essential concern is the prospective costs of importing goods which include General Services Tax or GST and other duties. Compute prices after conversion into Australian currency. Calculate GST by adding the cost of commodities, insurance premium, duty tax, and transport fees. The tariff is 10 percent of the total sum. Online calculators can help you with this concern.

Customs authorities use value of shipment, reason for export and itemized descriptions to determine the classification of duties and taxes relevant to your package. Items that will be resold are imposed a higher amount of levies compared to effects and gifts. Once your consignment arrives in the port, customs officers will categorize amounts of duties for every product that you have sent. Each one has a tariff classification. You need to research on high-value goods because customs may choose inaccurate categorization and unintentionally apply the incorrect rates. This may cost you more money.

You are not required to pay in the case of temporary merchandise that will leave Australia within the year. This is called "temporary import." Eligible goods may be imported through a carnet which can be secured from the local Chamber of Commerce. However, this quotation is quite expensive. Besides, there are rigid provisions on this category of imports. You will be required to pay the standard taxes in case you fail to inform customs authorities the schedule when these items will leave Australian territory.

Make it a point to list down each item in your shipment and calculate the cubic volume. The measurements should be accurate if the volume computed is less than the ultimate volume packed. Expect the rates to increase if this happens. You can always get quotes online.

Customs clearances for personal things may delay your cargo by a minimum of 24 up to 48 hours. Make sure to fill up the B-534 form before shipping the items and attach the documents in a purse to keep away from these stoppages. These should be attached to the package. Expect customs authorities to ask for a copy of your passport upon arrival. Adhering to the rules can expedite the process. You are bound to pay the duties if you do not qualify. Standard customs clearance fee in Australia is $150 (AUD plus the 10 percent (Goods Services Tax). This does not include import duties and other applicable costs.
