International Courier from Tamil Nadu to Australia

Customs, duties and taxes

• Goods worth AUD 1,000 or less are generally free of duty and import GST when they arrive.
• Shipments worth more than AUD 1,000 need a formal import declaration, and duty and 10% GST may apply.
• Every parcel is screened for biosecurity, and food, plant and wooden items must be declared on the invoice.

Restricted and prohibited items

• Seeds, soil, fresh fruit and vegetables
• Meat, eggs and most dairy products
• Untreated wood and items made from plants or straw unless declared and inspected
• Homemade food is often held for inspection or destroyed, so commercially packed food is safer

Dangerous goods are refused on every route: loose lithium batteries, flammable liquids, aerosols, perfumes, gas cylinders and similar items. See the full list.

Documents you need
