Australian FBA customs clearance
       Since the Amazon Australia site was officially launched on December 5, it has attracted much attention. Many sellers have already begun to test the waters for delivery, but there are also many sellers who are still waiting and watching, because they are not familiar with Australia's import customs clearance requirements and dare not act rashly. Therefore, the editor specifically consulted Australian customs clearance companies with many years of experience in the industry, and sorted out some precautions related to Australian import customs clearance, hoping to help more sellers better understand this new market full of unlimited business opportunities.
 
1 Have your own Australian tax ID number early.
      The Australian Taxation Bureau stipulates that overseas sellers must apply for an offshore tax ID number after their annual income in Australia exceeds A$75,000. However, Amazon Australia will require all sellers to provide ARN (ATO) after July 1, 2018. Reference Number), which is the reference number of the Australian Taxation Bureau associated with VAT, so sellers equivalent to Amazon must register for an Australian tax number.
After the European VAT turmoil in 2017, everyone should know that the tax bureaus of various countries are not talking on paper, and it is better to start with fattening. If you don't want the same tragedy to happen, it is recommended to have your own tax ID number to establish an Australian station from the very beginning.
 
2 Australia's import taxes include: import duties & value-added tax (GST)
      The full English name of GST is Goods and Service Tax (Goods and Service Tax), which refers to the tax levied on most goods and services sold in Australia. 10%, before many people called it a consumption tax. It can be found that GST is actually similar to the VAT of the European Union. Enterprises pay import GST when importing, and then offset the GST charged when filing tax returns every quarter and when re-selling, and refund more and make up less. Therefore, I think it is easier for everyone to understand GST as value-added tax.
On July 1, 2018, the Australian government has a new policy modification on GST, the differences are as follows:



3 Some requirements of Australian Customs for import customs clearance
● Reasonable declaration of goods value:
Like other customs, Australian Customs has a reasonable cost price and market price for reference for all imported categories. Any low declaration will attract the attention of the customs, and then Additional document support is required, such as proof of payment. If the underreporting is serious, there will be bad records, which will affect subsequent imports; moreover, considering that most products can be applied for duty-free, and consumption tax can be applied for refund or credit later, So there is little need for underreporting. 
● Non-infringement imitation brand:
It is recommended that sellers who want to establish their own brands register patents and brands as soon as possible, especially to indicate the corresponding brand and model when declaring electronic products, which is conducive to quick customs clearance.
● Logs must be fumigated:
log products, products with bark, and original wooden packaging (wooden boxes, wooden trays, etc.), must have a fumigation certificate issued by CIQ (with official seal, watermark, and barcode). Common products include sofas and musical instruments Guzheng, log picture frame, etc. 

 
● Restriction on the import of asbestos-containing goods:
Because Australia restricts the import of asbestos-containing goods, importing asbestos-containing goods must obtain an import license. For products that potentially contain asbestos, it is recommended to provide a "Asbestos Free Statement" or provide a test certificate according to the product situation. Common products include: mouse pads, gloves, crayons, etc. Australian Customs does not allow some common products, such as medical supplies, cosmetics, and children's products
                                                                                         
      . Like the US Customs, there are clear regulatory authorities and certification requirements when importing, but they tend to monitor and verify the safety and compliance of products in the later sales market, that is, the import threshold is relatively low, but the sales threshold is relatively high.
