Customs Broker Melbourne, Customs Clearance


When importing goods into Melbourne, Australia, it's important to know that any items valued over AU$1,000 require a comprehensive customs clearance process. This involves completing an import declaration and taking responsibility for any applicable duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and additional taxes or charges. Specifically, for all imports surpassing the AU$1,000 mark, Australian import taxes become mandatory. Understanding and adhering to these regulations ensures a smooth, legal, and efficient import process.

Without expert advice about Australian customs and international trade processes, your business could be overwhelmed with the complex and complicated nature of importing and exporting at best, and seriously at risk at worst. Do you want to ensure that your imports arrive safely in Australia, your documentation filing is correct and that you are not at risk for any costly delays or hefty penalties?  
 
If you’re looking for a trusted and experienced customs broker in Melbourne, our licensed customs brokers can help you safely navigate the restrictions and required documentation you need. Wallace International handles the clearing and shipping of all types of business and commercial cargo and freight. We encourage first-time importers to work with our knowledgeable customs brokers and clearance agents who will gladly help you understand Australia’s importation procedures during your free consultation.

The Roles of our Melbourne Customs Brokers and Customs Clearance Agents

Making sure that the correct tax and duties go through becomes one of the primary concerns of your licensed customs broker and brokerage. There are many tasks your Melbourne customs broker will look after without you being caught up in the process including:

 

  • Communicating with agencies and government bodies such as the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Force, and the Department of Agriculture.
  • Deciphering information to make it clear for you.
  • Adhering to cultural heritage laws if you are transporting artefacts.
  • Observing all biosecurity rules if you are transporting animals or plants.
  • Ensuring that your shipment adheres to Australia’s strict Quarantine regulations.
  • Identifying and applying accurate import taxes.
  • Assisting with filling out or filing paperwork such as the electronic lodging of Full Import Declaration, Tariff Advice, Valuation Advice, and Tariff Concession Order applications.
  • Adhering to import requirements, policy by-laws, and Free Trade Agreements.
  • Packaging quality assurance.
  • Selecting the appropriate transport method and cartage.
  • Minimising Customs duty.
  • Warehousing.
