motherof2 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I've noticed that a lot more companies in the UK are now shipping to Oz which is great news. Has any one had to pay customs and taxes on top of the delivery charge once your packages have arrived on auusie shores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 You are allowed to import up to $1000 worth of goods before you pay tax, So just make sure you do not order over $1000 in any one order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherof2 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Brilliant -it's mainly for the skin care I use so def won't be spending that much on one order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to check on the customs restrctions list to see if you can import facecreams, I know you can't import perfumes, and I think liquids, creams, toothpastes, ect are still seen as a security risk for customs. :arghh::arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave up on that campaign and has now started his own Internet Site with special daily deals. He did not expect the backlash from the public.

No. I ordered some stuff from House of Fraser recently - dapper dresser me - and it arrived 3 days later - quicker than stuff from Australian sites that seems to take forever. Cheers.

Guest Guest31881 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 here is the customs list of what you cannot import. http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4369.asp perfumes and creams may be restricted in hand luggage because of security threats, but importing from a company in sealed containers is fine as far as I know.
