Duty on goods entering Australia is assessed by the Australian Border Force at the point of import. Most general merchandise sits at a 0–5% duty rate, with 5% being the common figure for many finished goods. Whether duty is charged at all depends on the value of the shipment and the type of item, so the tariff line matters more than the box it comes in.
The de-minimis for duty is AUD 1,000. Shipments valued below that generally clear without customs duty, but 10% GST can still apply to low-value imported goods, and for higher-value consignments you pay duty plus 10% GST plus a small processing charge. As an indicative guide for 2026, budget for roughly 10% GST on almost everything and up to 5% duty on top for goods over the threshold. The importer of record pays these charges, and the exact rate is confirmed against the Australian Border Force tariff.
Clearance in Australia is straightforward when the paperwork is right, but biosecurity checks add a step that catches people out. We prepare the commercial invoice and packing list, classify your goods correctly, and flag anything that will be inspected before it ships so there are no surprises at the border. If your consignment needs a customs broker or a biosecurity declaration, we arrange it and keep you updated at each stage.
Australia is a long lane, so the choice between air and sea is really a choice between speed and cost. Air express lands documents and parcels in 4–6 days and suits electronics, samples, urgent stock and anything you need in hand quickly. It is priced per kilo, so it stays sensible for small and medium loads but climbs fast once a shipment gets heavy.
Sea freight is far cheaper per kilo and is the right call for furniture, bulk orders, machinery or a full house move, but it runs on a timeline of weeks rather than days once you count port handling and inland delivery to Sydney, Melbourne or Perth. For most one-off parcels and business samples, air wins; for volume and weight where time is flexible, sea saves you real money.
One Australia-specific point: biosecurity is strict. Food, seeds, plant material, wood and some animal products can be held, treated or refused by DAFF whether you send them by air or sea, so declare them honestly. Not sure which mode fits your shipment or whether an item is allowed? Message us on WhatsApp with the weight, contents and destination city and we will price both options and tell you what clears.
Same DHL Express service. Same tracking. Much better price.
A 5kg parcel works out to roughly AED 545 with us (from AED 320 base plus about AED 50 per kilo), against far higher retail courier counter rates for the same weight. Send us the exact weight and dimensions and we will give you a firm quote, not an estimate.
Air express typically takes 4–6 days door to door to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Remote postcodes can add a day or two. Sea freight is much cheaper but runs in weeks, so pick it only when timing is flexible.
As an indicative guide for 2026, expect 10% GST on most goods and up to 5% import duty on shipments over AUD 1,000. Goods under AUD 1,000 usually skip duty but can still attract GST. The Australian Border Force confirms the exact rate against the tariff, and the importer pays it.
Be careful here. Australia has strict biosecurity, so food, seeds, plant material, wood and some supplements can be inspected, treated or refused by DAFF. Always declare them honestly. Message us first with the exact item and we will tell you whether it clears before you ship.
We deliver to every major city and most postcodes, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, plus regional addresses. Air express is the standard service; sea freight is the economy option for heavy or bulky loads where you can wait longer.
