The Australian Customs and Quarantine formalities for the clearance of imports or exports consignments are highly regulated in Australia. The correct preparation and completion of the customs clearance procedures are critical, as heavy penalties may be applied if the correct procedures are not fulfilled.
Importing into Australia To help protect Australia’s unique environment from unwanted pests and diseases, the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources regulates products imported into Australia. The importation of some products is, by law, subject to certain bio security import conditions. Some products are not permitted entry while other products are only allowed into Australia subject to meeting import conditions that mitigate the bio security risk. This may include a requirement for an import permit.
You can use the Biosecurity Import Conditions System (BICON) to determine whether a commodity intended for import into Australia:
It is your responsibility to comply with the Customs & Quarantine import conditions when importing into Australia.
Who can make an Import Declaration The owner of imported goods is required to make an import declaration. According to Customs law, an owner of imported goods may be the importer, someone who holds themselves out to be the owner, someone who has a beneficial interest in the goods or someone who has control of the goods.
Import Permits Most import permits will be issued within 20 working days of completed applications being received and paid for in full. Applications may take longer if:
As of 9 April 2018, the Quarantine department will no longer facilitate the clearance of conditionally non-prohibited goods that arrive without the required import permit. Therefore goods that require a permit, but arrive without one, including where an application is currently under consideration, will be directed for export from Australian or required to be destroyed in an approved manner.
Customs Clearance with a value above a $1000 All goods imported into Australia by sea, air or post with a customs value that exceeds $1000.00 must be cleared by submitting a completed import declaration form (B650) and paying duty, goods and services tax (GST) and other taxes and charges that apply.
How is the amount of customs duty/ Import Duty calculated? The amount payable is determined by the classification of the goods and other factors including exemptions, concessions & existence of preference schemes (e.g. a Free Trade Agreement between the origin country & Australia).
When importing goods, the submission of the declaration to the ICS will automatically calculate any duty, GST, Wine Equalisation Tax or Luxury Car tax payments that are required.
A payment advice is then issued to the owner. Once settled, Customs will clear & release the goods. On most products imported into Australia, the customs duty is 5% of the value of the goods converted to Australian dollars, but this is dependent on the type of goods imported. (excludes Alcohol and Tobacco)
Is GST payable when importing goods? Yes. besides a few exemptions for some basic foodstuffs, certain medical aids and appliances, precious metals and other items, most goods will be subject to GST when imported.
GST is applied at 10% of the Australian dollar value of the goods when imported. The value of the imported goods is equal to the goods value (as detailed above), plus the duty payable, and any transport & insurance fees for the goods.To calculate the GST on imported goods, add the value of the goods in Australian dollars, plus freight, insurances and the import duty. The 10% GST is calculated on this total.
For example, if you purchase calculators for AUD$500, add the 5% customs duty $25 plus the cost of freight and insurances, say at $42. This gives a total of $567 plus a 10% GST of $56.70. The total cost of goods equals approximately $623.70.
