jicms Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 We would like to purchase our daughter a baby buggy in the UK (probably from John Lewis) before our move to Aus. I understand we would have to declare this to PSS and be taxed as it's under 12 months old. Anyone know the likely cost? Would it be cheaper/less hassle to use JL international delivery or even take it with us on the flight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pob Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 PSS won't know how long you have owned the buggy, even if it is in it's original box. Everything you own is more than six months old, isn't it. The man who wore the suit gave you the quote is not the gorilla in a gravy stained tshirt who packs your box and puts it in a moving truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking more for people bringing multiple new items to sell on. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take it out of the box and take off any tags and packaging, no one will know it's brand new, so it won't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jicms Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 That's great, thanks very much. We'll remove all tags although it'll still be obvious it's new of course. The alternative is to take it as hand luggage but I'm not sure if that's allowed if she hasn't yet had the baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could check it in with your suitcases but i personally would just send it with the shippers. Unless you have a container full of new items it is highly unlikely they will so much as blink at it.
