I have been looking at a few gold coins from a dealer in the US and was wondering what dollar value a duty fee kicks in when being sent to Australia. I think it used to be above $400 but that was a few years back. I haven't had any problems so far with smaller $$ items but I am a bit nervous hitting the "purchase " button on these. I am also a bit gun shy of ordering since (many years ago) I had a large cheque sent to Tanzania because somebody spelled Tasmania with a Z ! lol If anyone has some good advise for a newbie it would be greatly appreciated.
Anything under AU$1000 including shipping will not be be touched. The $400 limit was increased many many years ago now. Beware currency conversion rates putting you over AU$1000 they will often use inflated rates, so keep a decent margin under.
Bullion should be duty free. I recently made a trade with someone in the forum here. My bullion bar for their ring. I looked up tax codes on both sides. I even called US Customs. Because AUS is part of the free trade agreement there should be no duties. https://www.border.gov.au/Factsheets/Documents/importingpreciousmetalcoinsandbullions.pdf Shouldn't be any duties on my side (US) for the ring either because it also falls under the duty free section of the Free Trade Agreement.
oversea is more cheap use regis ter and express no risk 99% i bought coins 99.95% from oversea never pay any tax declare always around 300$ onlyeven value above 10000$
