Over 82% of Import trade into Australia, can potentially gain duty free entry.
As a guide, if duty were to apply, allow 5% Customs Duty + 10% GST (excluding excisable goods such as alcohol and tobacco products, which attract higher fees based on weight / litres).
Duty Is calculated on the price paid for your goods, plus any costs to get your items to the airport in country of origin. Convert these charges to Australian dollars with the exchange rate for the day your goods left the Country of Origin, as this is the amount you pay your duty % on. GST is charged @ 10% on the Cost of Goods + Freight + Insurance + Duty.
At times, additional charges for clearance services may apply.
