Australian Customs Duty & Import Tax Explained

When importing goods through Australian customs, key charges include:

Customs Duty Calculation

  • Based on FOB (Free On Board) value
  • Standard rate: 5% of goods value
  • Formula: FOB Value × 5% = Customs Duty

Import GST Calculation

  • Based on CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value plus duty
  • Standard rate: 10%
  • Formula: (CIF Value + Customs Duty) × 10% = Import GST

Total Import Taxes

Total Payable = Customs Duty + Import GST

For example:

  • Goods Value: $10,000
  • Freight Cost: $1,000
  • Insurance: $200
  • Customs Duty: $10,000 × 5% = $500
  • Import GST: ($11,200 + $500) × 10% = $1,170
  • Total Import Taxes: $1,670

  • Generally no customs duty or GST applies
