In Australia, customs invoices are used by Customs officials to inspect and calculate imported products. The invoice also imposes applicable duties to imported consignments. This is a provision of local government laws and policies on imports.

Shipping invoices should include collection or shipper's address; delivery or shipper's address; description of every item; unit and total shipment value for customs requirements; and, reason for exporting. The last item includes declarations for personal effects, product samples, promotional merchandise, sold products, and returns for repairs.

Another important matter is declaration of imports. Important documents for sending goods subject to import taxes include invoices and sales receipts for values as well as insurance coverage. It is possible to economize by choosing experienced couriers. Service providers with large networks can lessen fees and workloads by taking care of moving items through customs bureaus.

You are not required to pay in the case of temporary merchandise that will leave Australia within the year. This is called "temporary import." Eligible goods may be imported through a carnet which can be secured from the local Chamber of Commerce. However, this quotation is quite expensive. Besides, there are rigid provisions on this category of imports. You will be required to pay the standard taxes in case you fail to inform customs authorities the schedule when these items will leave Australian territory.

Make it a point to list down each item in your shipment and calculate the cubic volume. The measurements should be accurate if the volume computed is less than the ultimate volume packed. Expect the rates to increase if this happens. You can always get quotes online.

Customs clearances for personal things may delay your cargo by a minimum of 24 up to 48 hours. Make sure to fill up the B-534 form before shipping the items and attach the documents in a purse to keep away from these stoppages. These should be attached to the package. Expect customs authorities to ask for a copy of your passport upon arrival. Adhering to the rules can expedite the process. You are bound to pay the duties if you do not qualify. Standard customs clearance fee in Australia is $150 (AUD plus the 10 percent (Goods Services Tax). This does not include import duties and other applicable costs.
