Importing Goods Into Australia
Importing goods into Australia is a great way to expand your product offering or to obtain parts if you cannot find a local manufacturer. If you are bringing goods into Australia, they must be cleared by the Australian Border Force and may be subject to clearance fees, customs duty, Goods and Services Tax and other taxes. It is vitally important to be aware of the regulations, costs and any risks or challenges that may be involved, which may seem daunting but with the right help, it can be a smooth and worry-free service that avoids extra costs.
