Essential Information for Shipping to Australia and New Zealand

Customs information for Shipping Canada to UAE

Australians Customs Information

Please take a moment to review the important customs information before shipping to Australia .

 Personal Effects 

When it comes to Australia’s customs clearance of personal effects, understanding the specific procedures and requirements is essential, especially when you need to ship luggage to Australia.

  •  To avoid customs delays and prevent unnecessary duties, we recommend declaring the value of your shipment based on its total weight. For shipments under 100 kg, declare a value less than AUD 1,000, and for shipments over 100 kg, declare a value greater than AUD 1,000. This ensures a smoother and faster customs clearance process.
  • After the shipment has reached Australia, you will receive an email containing the B534 from the customs clearance team. Kindly, fill and return the form for clearance as soon as possible.
  • Additionally, Australian customs require a copy of the receiver’s passport.
  • Clearing personal effects into Australia typically requires a travel document, but in some cases, it may be processed without one.
  •  By adhering to the recommended declared value, you can ensure a smoother customs process and minimize the likelihood of incurring additional fees or delays.
  • Australia maintains a rigorous Biosecurity System, which means that shipments containing items like foodstuffs or wooden products may undergo Australian Border Force quarantine clearance. This can lead to customs delays and additional inspection charges.
  •  Furthermore, the Australian Border Force may scrutinize products that have had contact with plants and animals outside of Australia, including items like shoes, hiking equipment, and other outdoor sports gear. 
  • To mitigate any issues, customers should ensure these items are thoroughly cleaned before shipping to comply with the necessary biosecurity requirements.
  • Please be aware that upon the shipment’s arrival in Australia, the clearance team will reach out to you to facilitate the necessary clearance process. 

When you want to send luggage to Australia, it is essential to understand the specific considerations and procedures involved. Personal effects refer to previously used items, including clothing, books, and other belongings commonly taken on trips or send during relocations. These goods are often associated with individuals who have recently traveled or are traveling to the destination. Additionally, personal effects can encompass sports equipment and household furnishings, forming part of the shipped items. If your shipment does not consist of used personal effects, it is important not to misrepresent it as such. Instead, suppose you are sending a gift package or shipping on behalf of a business. In that case, it is advisable to select the appropriate option such as ‘Gift’ or ‘Commercial’ when making the booking. This ensures an accurate declaration of the contents and avoids any confusion or misclassification during shipping.

Gifts

  • Australia allows gifts up to a value of $1000 AUD to enter the country tax and duty free. Where multiple gifts are sent for different people and the total value exceeds $1000 AUD, duty and tax will become applicable.  Australian customs does not allow items within a consignment to be split for the purposes of tax and duty calculation, if sending gifts valued over $1000 AUD you could consider sending them as separate shipments.

    All shipments, regardless of gift status, are subject to inspection by Australian Border Force.

Commercial Goods

  • Shipments are generally categorized as commercial when there has been a transaction between the shipper and recipient. This can include scenarios such as businesses dispatching goods or individuals importing newly purchased items from online sources. In such cases, the nature of the transaction classifies the shipment as commercial rather than personal.
  • Our partner in the destination country will typically collect duties, taxes, and a handling fee before the delivery of goods. 
  • The customs authorities of each country usually calculate the taxes based on the declared value provided during the next step of the process. It’s important to note that tax rates will vary depending on the destination. 
  • Customs authorities may utilize the commercial clearance route as a general option for shipments that do not fulfill the requirements for other duty-free clearance routes. In such cases, when shipments do not qualify for specific duty-free options, they are typically processed through the commercial clearance route.
  • Please be aware that Getmyparcel has no control over these charges, as the customs officer will determine the actual amount for the parcel.

New Zealand Customs Information

Please take a moment to review the important customs information before shipping to New Zealand .

  • Personal Effects 

    If you are planning to bring personal effects into New Zealand, whether as part of a permanent relocation or a temporary stay, it is essential to understand the customs clearance process. Customs clearance involves the necessary procedures and documentation required to ensure the smooth and lawful importation of personal belongings.

    Customs clearance of personal effects in New Zealand

    • It is advisable not to send holiday baggage and other time-sensitive packages through this route due to potential delays and additional charges during customs clearance in New Zealand.
    • To clear items through New Zealand customs, a completed NZCS218 form and a copy of the receiver’s passport are required.
    • New Zealand maintains strict biosecurity measures and shipments containing foodstuffs or wooden products may undergo clearance via New Zealand Biosecurity. This can lead to customs delays and extra fees for inspection.
    • Biosecurity officials may also scrutinize items that have come into contact with plants and animals outside of New Zealand, including shoes, hiking equipment, and other outdoor sports gear. It is important for customers to thoroughly clean such items before shipping to avoid potential issues.
    • In certain cases, New Zealand customs may require the consignee to personally clear the shipments before they are released and delivered. Unfortunately, “Get My Parcel” is unable to assist with this process.
    • If you choose to use our shipping agents to handle the customs clearance on your behalf, they will charge a fee of approximately $230. This fee covers the submission of customs paperwork and the acquisition of customs clearance for your items. It is important to note that this service involves direct communication between the receiver and the agent’s customs broker and Get My Parcel cannot assist in this regard.
    • Alternatively, the consignee has the option to visit a New Zealand customs office and self-clear the shipments at a reduced fee of around $46. If you decide to clear the items at a customs office, please be aware that upon release, customs officials will provide you with certain documents that need to be emailed to the delivery agent. This step is necessary to facilitate the final delivery of your items.
    • The New Zealand Customs Authority operates 14 offices across the country that are available for processing self-clearance requests. These offices are strategically located throughout New Zealand, providing convenient access for individuals who need to personally handle the customs clearance of their shipments.
    • While the majority of shipments entering New Zealand are not stopped by customs, it is important to note that customs has the authority to stop any shipment for further inspection or processing at their discretion. 
    • In cases where customs holds a shipment, “Get My Parcel” is unable to facilitate the clearance process. Instead, the consignee will need to arrange self-clearance either in person or through our designated courier partner. It is crucial to be aware that additional clearance delays and fees may apply in such circumstances.
    • Please be aware that Getmyparcel has no control over these charges, as the customs officer will determine the actual amount for the parcel.

     

    Gifts

    • If a shipment is declared as a gift, it may qualify for duty-free entry in the destination country, provided that the value of the gift falls below the specified gift limit.
    •  However, if the value exceeds the limit, the receiver may be required to pay duty, taxes, and a handling fee (fees vary by destination). 
    • It is important to note that these fees are collected by Get My Parcel’s partners in the destination country, and “Get My Parcel” does not have any control over these fees or benefit financially from duties, taxes, or handling fees associated with gifts.

     

    Commercial Goods

    • Shipments are generally considered commercial when there is a transaction between the shipper and the recipient. 
    • This can include scenarios such as a business sending out goods or an individual importing newly purchased items from an online platform. 
    • In such cases, the shipment is treated as a commercial transaction rather than a personal gift or non-commercial import.
