When goods are purchased from overseas and sent via parcel post and exceed the $1000 customs value threshold, they are held by the Australian Border Force. A notice is typically then sent to the addressed owner of those goods, with a request to submit a formal import declaration.
This can seem confusing to the everyday individual who might not understand the requirements. Luckily, we do and can help.
Welcome to our online Parcel Post Clearance service!
Australian Border Force is responsible for border compliance and collection of taxes and revenue owing to certain imported goods prescribed under the Customs Act 1901. Whilst there anyone can submit an import declaration, goods which are not declared correctly, can result in a person being either prosecuted or issued a severe penalty.
With years of knowledge and expertise, we strongly recommend seeking the advice of a professional and licensed customs broker to assist in submitting any import declaration.
We provide a simple, fast and efficient solution, to make sure you remain compliant with the legislation as well as paying the correct amount of taxes if applicable.
We understand that in the current online trading environment, there is a growing demand for overseas goods and services, particularly by individuals, that is why we are offering a simple and cost-effective service to assist.
