Tell me how private shipping of furniture from China to Sydney
It's a common misconception to hear from the beginning that immigration shipping furniture is only for new immigrants within a year, including posts previously read in forums.
I called the Australian Customs Service Hotline and they said there was no such restriction. It became clear that the restriction was domestic and that Australia did not. As long as you can do it at home, you have Australia again PR, that in the name of personal import is no problem.
Unaccompanied Personal Effects advantage is that the goods owned more than one year, is not paid taxes. For example, some good old furniture, in this way is very good. There are also a number of domestic and Australian price difference goods, in this way is also better.
and when paying taxes (GST Duty), it is declared according to your personal quotation. What does that mean, friends who do business should be clear. But I would advise you to do anything in a proper manner.
A former indonesian colleague, who had imported a high-grade piano, was well-known by the customs, although he offered a low price, but the customs still estimated a the original price.
How much should the overall price be appropriate? I asked some logistics companies before, they think 10 cubic goods should probably not be less than 20,000 RMB.
Certainly, I would advise you not to evade taxes, pay taxes and fees, the Australian government or spend on their own.
I. Preparation of customs clearance - Materials to be prepared:
domestic fumigation certificate. (If you don't have wooden furniture for your personal belongings or items, you do n' t need any appliances or anything. If you need fumigation, you'd better go to the Australian Customs Service or the Australian Quarantine (AQIS) website.
Fumigation individual thinks still do in domestic, and must do really fumigate. It's not impossible to come to Australia, but it's expensive. And 10 cubic meters are said to cost 300~400.
discharge sheet (Telex Release). This is mainly to explain what your goods are shipped through, and which local forwarder to help you pick up the goods disassembly.
List of goods. The list must include the following:
What kind of goods
Quantity of goods
Goods value (customs duties and GST calculations). this price is better be australian knife, then the customs directly according to this number. )
Which specific package is the item in? (It is convenient for AQIS people to quickly locate your goods)
Personal identification:
passport
driving license
Medicare cards
Statement. of banks or financial institutions
2. First step in customs clearance - customs clearance
1. what is customs declaration?
There's no definition here. Personally:
the customs department need to know what items you import, then they calculate and collect the tax.
The quarantine department will review your import list to see if there are any suspicious items in it and then decide whether to conduct additional inspections.
1. when the customs clearance is appropriate?
Personally think the sooner the better, especially their intention to clear customs. Because you are not asking logistics companies after all, what changes in this, or unpredictable, should set aside more time for risk management.
At that time I called to consult the Australian customs, their answer is that the goods can be declared before the arrival of the port, the specific time I forget is 2 days or 3 days.
Place of declaration.
designated customs office. It feels like it's in every city's customs headquarters, and the big city's customs headquarters is usually next to the airport. I'm in Sydney, so it's going to the customs office next to the international airport. The airport parking is very high, and the customer parking space in the customs office building is often occupied, and only a quarter P. so I drive to the East Garden Westfiled, and then take 200 bus, under the international airport station, to that gray building is.
Customs declaration procedures:
To get the number in the lobby. If you are not sure which option, the front desk staff in the lobby will tell you.
First do a 100 points Identity certification, passport is 70 points, Australian driver's license 40 points. These two documents are enough.
Fill out a UPE declaration form. The information you need for this form is basically your personal identity information, as well as the information on your telex release. There is also a list of items, because I shipped a lot of very miscellaneous, I did not fill in, directly provide my list of goods.
UPE is actually a common form (Joint Form) for customs declaration and quarantine declaration. So in addition to the customs part of the content, there is quarantine content. Some of these are regulated products.
Staff members may also be asked if they have any questions.
When completed, the staff calculates how much tax you should pay and the handling fee for the response. different goods, the tax rate is also different, as if the textile is on the high side, GST reach 15%, other general GST are 10%.
Customs this side of the formalities completed, it is to quarantine (AQIS).
Quarantine and customs work together. They're next door to the customs area. Quarantine Bureau staff will review your UPE list to see if there are controlled products. if you have these restricted products, they may ask you to do fumigation or do inspection.
If you have wood furniture, it is better to do fumigation in China, the price is not expensive. It could be a lot more expensive here. if australian customs do not approve your fumigation certificate, may also ask you to do fumigation again. It is said that this also happens, usually those fake fumigation certificates.
If they ask to do the inspection, they will pay the application fee of $60, and will also ask you to appoint a Quarantine Depot to do the inspection. AQIS will provide a list for you to choose from. usually choose the nearest to your freight warehouse manned office, this is always have prosecutor in, you can go to check directly at any time. The starting cost of the inspection is $70, and will add money as time increases. But if the goods are not complicated and prosecutor are in a good mood, they usually pass quickly.
After the Depot has been appointed, the staff of the Quarantine Bureau will input the data into the computer and ask you to pay the fee. After that, you will be told what documents to bring and what documents to their staff.
If the quarantine office thinks you don't have any controlled items, they may be able to let you go directly, so save the middle step.
Customs clearance to pick up goods.
Preparation:
When the goods are ready, they are usually three days of free use. But personally, the sooner the better! Take the initiative.
Better prepare a fluorescent overalls. Because formally, entering the warehouse, you must wear work clothes, otherwise it is not allowed.
The documents must be ready. Release Notice. if you want to go to inspection and quarantine, also AQIS the documents provided to you.
Bring the documents, you can go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. If you don't need a Quarantine Depot check, you can pull the goods home. If you need it, it's nothing, just pull it over. AQIS Officer didn't seem to look very carefully in my experience. I my stuff is a lot of very miscellaneous, they have a selective look at the old furniture whether the dirt is used a year to release.
Certainly, this is only my personal experience, actually is related to the concrete AQIS Officer, everybody still must prepare.
