It began to be widely misunderstood that immigrant shipping furniture only applies to new immigrants within a year, including previous posts on the forum.
Later I called the Australian Customs Service hotline and they said there was no such restriction. It became clear later that the restriction was domestic and that Australia had no such restriction. As long as you're done at home and you have an Australian PR, it's okay to import in your personal name.
Why so many Chinese like to come back to China to buy furniture, daily necessities and so on, all for a reason. These things in the purchase price compared to the domestic big difference! Instead of buying abroad at a high price, it's better to buy good fortune at a low price at home. And foreign furniture is generally very expensive, the style is not so complete, so more immigrant Chinese, will be more willing to return to China to buy furniture, and then consignment.
With the development of logistics industry, the traditional mode of port-to-port transportation can no longer meet the needs of customers, customers are more willing to choose door-to-door one-stop freight mode. The difference between sea door-to-door and international moving is that it is necessary to pay tax and import, without requiring customers to go to customs in person to submit applications, personally declare customs and other column work.
How to secure new furniture bought in China to Australia without paying duties is a big concern for new immigrants, first of all, who can carry personal effects as returning Australian residents, foreign residents with temporary and permanent Visa, new immigrants, foreign students, diplomats, etc.
Today to share with you how goods shipped to Australia can avoid customs duties, what need to pay attention to the transport process? What information the shipping process needs to provide and how it operates.
I. Duty-free conditions / operation / considerations
1. As long as the identity of the goods, the old and new are OK, although the customs stipulate that the goods must be owned and used for more than a year, but if the new items, we will remove the original packaging, and then by our company's professional packaging materials re-packaging, so that it can be declared as used personal items, without paying any customs duties.
2. The old goods to Australia must be checked every ticket, but the customs inspection goods will not be unpacked to check, after we repacked the goods even if new, the customs cannot find out, if the original packaging, customs will know. However, if the original package, checked by the customs, not only need to pay a relatively high tariff and consumption tax, but also face the risk of fines, so smugglers must not use packaging.
3. The port of destination is bound to incur miscellaneous charges (including THC, bill exchange, warf, etc.) and inspection fees, miscellaneous charges are generally between 200 to 400 Australian dollars, inspection fees around 500 Australian dollars. But if there is a problem during the customs clearance, there will be a relatively high demurrage and warehousing charges, so, be sure to communicate well in advance, in addition, the notice is that the destination agent has a lot of services are not included, such as heavy goods handling charges, secondary delivery charges and so on.
4. Customs clearance only need to provide a copy of the passport and Visa, other relevant information will be provided by our company and then you can sign, but customs clearance needs your assistance, customs will inform you to interview, general interview topics such as how long you have been living abroad, your use of goods for more than a year and so on, how to operate, customs clearance of the port of destination will naturally communicate with you.
II. Information required for shipment of goods
1. Shipper's Information (Name, Telephone, Address, Scanner)
List of Goods (Name, Material, Number of Packages, Quantity, Amount)
3. Consignee information (name, telephone, address, date of birth, passport scan)

IV. Marine Tips
Consignors cannot have anything involving politics, DVDs, dangerous goods, or such as food (dry goods and meat), wine (alcohol, fuel), medicine (cold medicine, health products and other drugs and alcohol).
2.Packing: Furniture or other valuable, fragile, afraid of pressure goods, please do a good job of transport packaging (wooden rack or wooden box), to avoid in the process of handling caused bumps, thereby damaging or scratching.
3, including wood goods must do fumigation disinfection, insecticidal treatment. At the same time, wood packaging must not have bark, moldy, watermark, bug eyes. Doing fumigation will not cause any impact on the goods.
4. Customs inspection: The developed countries conduct spot checks on imported goods, inquire about the information of the actual recipients and inquire about the contents of the declaration documents. The consignor must truthfully declare the information of the goods, the value of the goods, and refuse to conceal the report. The authenticity of the sender's declaration of cargo information can significantly reduce the chances of customs inspection.
