peter_smith7 Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Does anyone In Australia know whether importing by post, either new or used, will attract customs duty? Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_thomas Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 Hi PeterThe Customs Department were very helpful to me years ago when I asked the same question.There is no customs duty on cameras but you must pay State Sales Tax. This was before GST, so it is more feasible now. When I queried it State sales tax was over 30 per cent.Peter, write to them, their address is in all Australian phone books, and then you have their answer in writing (Unless someone has a more up to date answer).Regards,Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_dowling Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 G'day Peter, The Customs web site at: http://www.customs.gov.au/osgoods.htm will go some way to answering your question. As I understand it, GST is payable @ 10% but it won't be collected on items imported by post with a value less than $1,000.00, or $250.00 where they come in by air cargo such as UPS etc. Hope this helps.
