Default A question about importing

Hi there,

I am told that goods under 1000 dollars are exempt from any extra taxes and duties but i was wondering if this applies to commercial goods aswell?

Say if i had 200 identical items worth under 1000 AUD in total shipped over here.

Thanks.

Hello Livo,

What you have heard is correct. Regardless if it is commercial or not all (with a few minor exceptions) importations into Australia under the amount of $1000 AUD are tax exempt.
