To avoid the custom taxes does the cost of product itself has to be below $1000 ?? Or is that including freight cost as well ??

Thanks for the video . I got a qs . I don't have a registered co. Or a shop . Can I still import to Australia. If not .what other options are there

[mehere]

Hi Mate, I think there is now GST on things under $1000 as well. Also are you doing with your imported goods? are you selling it on shopify or locally?

Thank you for the informative video, have a question, I want to start e-commerce (Amazon FBA) in Australia, what type of registration do I need with the government, or is any license required???

Thanks for your video ❤❤ very clear explanation

Hey mate, thank you for your video. Very informative. I'm starting a small business in Australia. Do you reckon I need to engage a freight forwarder to import goods from china (via Alibaba). I have seen a few videos, I'm a bit unsure if u should involve them as I'm just starting out and it might cost me extra. What are your thoughts?

[lutherking]

Is it possible/a valid option to ask the supplier to split the +$1000 shipment into multiple smaller individual packages each with total value of less than $1k to avoid 10% gst?

Hi mate, I’m looking to place my first bulk order from China of dietary supplements. Is there any other document except taxes & duty fees that I should keep in mind ? Thank you

Hi first time importing, looking to import heavy goods etc. Pilates machine. First order cos under $1000. How can i work out all shipping costs without committing to supplier? NSW Thanks

[vinasgoyani]

hey, just want to know that if the order is above AUD $1000, in that case what are the documents we will get from supplier and what are the documents we need to make it ready. also, do we need to submit them to customs and what will be the procedure. Thanks

Hey! Thanks for all the useful tips! I just started my little business and your channel is helping me a lot.
I have a question. I have a regular job where I earn around AUD 80k a year, so any income on top of that will be taxed at 30% when doing the tax return.

I am importing an item from Alibaba that costs me AUD20 to get it to my door, and I would like to sell it for AUD60. In order to know how much I would be making per item, would I have to take 30% off the selling price before calculating the difference? In this case:
60-18-20=AUD 22 per item.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey mate, great video! Question, if you import and don't pay any tax or duties cause the value of the imported products are lower than $1000. How do you manage the selling in Australia? Is there any tax involved or I just can sell online and get the money straight in the bank? Also, are the $1000 import tax free a yearly amount or I could do 100 import of $1000 and avoid paying tax and duties? Thanks for your time and amazing videos!!

Hey mate, thanks a lot for your videos, you're doing an incredible job helping to start my business in Australia. I have one question about ChAFTA; I've asked my supplier about and they are charging me a fee to work under ChAFTA agreement, is that normal? I don't really know if there's something to do to import under ChAFTA or if you just get the benefits of the agreement without doing any paperwork, which is what they are trying to charge me for.

Hi mate, if we ask suppliers from china to send product doing DDP shipping to Australia then we need to pay anything??
