just wondering if you’d managed to find any more info on this subject?
i moved to Perth 3 years ago on PR but left some stuff at my parents in UK as I didn’t know what my permanent circumstances would be. I now have a few old bits of memorabilia - cds, DVD’s, photos etc, plus a bike and electronic drum kit that I wanted to ship now that I have a place to store them. The drum kit was purchased about 8 years ago in the UK for £3k. If there is a time limit for claiming as personal effects and assuming I’m well past that limit, how would they calculate the tax due? I wonder/hope they’d depreciate it and then calculate. DoHA are pretty inconclusive and just say it will be assessed on its own merit.
What is the cut-off time period for importing personal effects?
in Shipping and Removals
