Import duty & VAT for Australia
Parcels sent to Australia may be subject to local import duty or VAT above the threshold of A$1000 duty-free. Some tax-free lines include duties in the shipping price so there is nothing to pay on arrival. Import VAT: ~10%.
Goods valued up to A$1000 are free of import duty, so most personal orders clear without customs charges. GST at 10% generally applies and is often collected at checkout by registered platforms or at import. Orders above A$1000 can face duty plus 10% GST and clearance formalities.
