Customs limitations and Duty Free Info
Samples
Australian Customs are extremely vigilant in their assessment of what are and are not samples. Samples are a very contentious issue but what follows are some general guidelines when deciding whether or not to claim samples for your import shipments:

1. the item(s) should be of a non-recurring nature (i.e. only 1 of any particular commodity)
2. they should be given a nominal value (not their regular wholesale value)

Australian Customs uses a common sense, but cautious, approach to samples. Clothing, imported as samples, will be subject to mutilation (this may be applied in the form of red ink stamps apply to them so that they can not be sold). Shoes may be drilled in the soles so that they may not be resold.

Gifts

Unsolicited gift shipments valued up to 1000 AUD are acceptable duty and tax free provided the commercial invoice includes a full description and itemized values. Gift shipments must be from individual to individual and must not contain any commercial items including company awards. Alcohol and tobacco are not acceptable as gifts and therefore are dutiable.

Prohibited Christmas Items Imported Into Australia

It is prohibited to include any of the following items when sending gift hampers to Australia:

* Pine cones
* Wooden ornaments that are manufactured from plant material
* Fresh fruit
* Item of meat origin or containing meat (all types: e.g. beef jerky, etc.)
* Items containing egg or dairy
* Items of plant origin (e.g. Decorations made from vine material, wreaths, flowers, pot-pourri, etc.)
* Unpopped popcorn
* Nuts

The Austrialian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) will request from the recipient to provide written permission to destroy such commodities at Customs, prior to releasing the remaining consignment, thereby delaying delivery.

Please note the shipments containing alcohol will be subject to substantial taxes and may cause clearance delays.
