Importing goods from USA to Oz

Hazo,

What about a Lindsell Hoist? Aussie made, work well and prices between $1000 & $5000(big variation I know!)

Lindsell Hoist Ph: 1800 815 360 (No affliation, rah, rah)

We had one mounted on nearside front corner of long wheel base Canter, lifted bikes(honda 250 - 600's), welders, petrified wood stumps, avgas drums, you name it.

Can't help you with the duty info.

Bob.

I recently imported some wheels which were over the $1000 threshhold.

First - Add 5% import duties on the cost of the goods

Then add 10% GST on the total of the goods, the import duties and shipping costs

Then add $50-$100 Customs processing fee.

If coming in via sea freight - clearing agent fees etc would also be required.

So if the goods are $3000 and lets say shipping is $500.

Import duties will be $150

GST will be 10% of the total of $3000 (goods) + $150 (import duties) + $500 (shipping) so GST is 10% of $3650 = $365

Customs processing $100 (approx).

So on your goods of $3000 you will have to pay an additional $150 + $365 + $100 = $615

Insert you actual goods and shipping costs - oh don't forget these apply for couriers if you have sent it sea freight and you need a clearance agent then there will be their fees.

Hi Hazo,

I am an Australian living in the USA and have shipped some things back for friends. Chev parts etc so I might be able to help. Shoot me an email to carlsp1000@gmail.com and give me some more details. Brand name and where they are located.
