When importing most products into Australia, goods and services tax (GST) is levied.
This is true whether or not your company is GST registered.
Individuals importing from China (and elsewhere) must, in fact, pay GST.
The GST rate is 10% at the time of writing.
GST (10%) is calculated on top of the sum of the following:
Customs value (FOB Price) + Customs Duty + Shipping to Australia + Shipping Insurance
Here’s an example:
• Customs value (FOB Price) = AU$10,000
• Customs Duty = 5% x AU$10,000 = $500 (Duty is free for CNC router/Laser according to ChAFTA)
• Shipping = $500
• Insurance: $20
GST = 10% x ($10,000 + $500 + $500 + $20) = AU$1102
The China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) entered into force in 2015.
Since then, the agreement has eliminated tariffs on the vast majority of Chinese imports, resulting in no import duty on the vast majority of Chinese imports into Australia.
Previously, most Chinese-made products imported into Australia faced a 5% import duty.
However, the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) does not exempt Chinese imports from the import processing charge or GST.
The Import Processing Charge is calculated based on the value of the customs declaration. However, unlike the Customs duty rate, the Import Processing Charge is a fixed cost rather than a percentage of the Customs value.
FOB Value: AU$1,000 to AU$10,000
FOB Value: Above AU$10,000
The Customs value (CVAL) is normally based on the FOB (Free on Board) price. These are some examples:
As a result, the following items are excluded from the CVAL:
