DIY customs clearance?

[acem8]

Has anyone out there any experience of doing the customs clearance themselves. I have had an unbelievable quote from a company to do this and transport a couple of pallets to our house. I have done abit of research and it seems you fill out a 4 page form (simple questions about dangerous goods etc), take it to the nearest customs office, hopefully get clearance without too much hassle, take the completed clearance to where the goods are and get them released. I can arrange transport through work which will be cheaper than someone else arranging it and putting margin on top.

Surely if you are there in person at the customs office you can answer all the questions they might fire at you better than if a broker was doing it?

Hello, Im looking to do the same thing , anyone had experience of doing the customs clearance themselves and can give advice?

Here's what Ive been told by customs:
To clear your personal effects you will be required to present the following -your passport
-a packing or content list or
-all airfreight or shipping documents
-a completed Unaccompanied Effects Statement B534

Once the goods arrived in Australia, you are required to cleared the goods at Customs House in your capital city. Please give yourself at least 2 hours for processing your UPE as it will also require the clearance from AQIS.

Many thanks!
