Zoll

Hallo,

Hab da mal ne Frage:
Moecht mir in den USA ne Tauchausruestung kaufen und mit UPS nach Australien schicken lassen. Weiss jemand ob das Packet wenn es mit UPS kommt durch den Australischen Zoll geht und wenn ja was an Kosten auf mich zukommen koennte?

Danke!

Liebe Gruesse,
Yvonne

nun antworte ich mal selbst, da Weihnachten vor der Tuer steht und dieses Thema ja auch fuer andere Interessant sein koennte....
Auf Pakete deren Inhalt den Betrag von AU$1000.- nicht uebersteigen zahlt man keine Tax/Duty!!!!!
Dies gilt allerdings nicht fuer Alkohol, Zigaretten usw...

QUOTE:
Provided the value of the scuba gear remains under $1,000 AUD there will be
no taxes to be paid. If the items arrive through the postal system there
will be no additional fees. If they are sent through an international
courier you will need a "self assessment clearance" which will attract a
brokers fee.

Listed below is some further information to assist you with your enquiry:

IMPORT PROCEDURES

Your imported goods may arrive in Australia either by airfreight, express
courier, sea cargo or via the post office. As such, the method of delivery
will determine the Customs clearance formalities and charges.

Imported goods with a value of less than A$1000 arriving by post will be
released duty and tax free by Customs for delivery direct to the addressee
except for tobacco, tobacco products and alcoholic beverages or goods
subject to import permit requirements. In these cases, you will be contacted
and notified of the action you must take.

Imported goods arriving otherwise than by post will require the completion
of a Self Assessed Clearance (SAC) declaration before clearance from Customs
control SAC declarations can only be lodged electronically.

No cost recovery charges are imposed by Customs on SAC declarations but
administrative/processing charges may be imposed by carriers acting on your
behalf.

Where the carrier of your goods has sufficient information available to be
satisfied that no duty or taxes apply and that no import permit is required,
they may lodge the SAC declaration on your behalf.

If the carrier cannot, or will not, lodge a SAC declaration on your behalf,
you may either obtain a digital certificate in order to communicate with
Customs' electronic systems to enable you to lodge a SAC declaration or
engage the services of a customs broker or bureau to lodge a SAC declaration
on your behalf. (Customs Information and Support Centre
