AUSTRALIA

MUESTRAS

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.

EQUIPAJE DESACOMPAÑADO

Personal effects can apply to tourists, temporary residents, immigrants and Australian citizens returning to Australia. The goods may be imported duty/tax free if the goods have been owned and used overseas for a minimum of 12 months (or more) by the owner of the goods. Personal effects are usually delayed 3-7 days in processing times (sometimes longer) because of the delays in waiting on return of documents, Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) inspection requirements, Australian Customs (ACS) verification of customs documents and inspection of goods. Shipments that are personal effects must complete the B534 form to ensure clearance through Australian Customs.

The B534 form is required to be completed and signed by the owner of the goods contained therein. If more than one person is covered by the B534 (declaration), this needs to be indicated where required on the form and copies of all passports (relevant pages) for all persons covered in the B534 will need to be returned with the form.

The B534 form attempts customs clearance without attracting customs entry fees on goods, which exceed the minimum 12 months ownership/use overseas requirement under the By-Law pertaining to personal effects. Customs may still request a formal entry of the goods, which will then incur the normal entry processing fees. Additional costs for examinations, etc as directed by Customs and Quarantine may be administered. If goods are determined to be less than 12 months old or not to be of a used nature the relevant duty & GST rates will apply on those goods. A copy of the passport identification page, any pages that contain customs/immigration stamps and/or which contain visas and a detailed packing list or commercial invoice indicating the value of the goods contained therein, must accompany the B534 form . Fax copies and originals only are acceptable by Australian Customs provided ALL details contained therein are legible. The B534 declaration must be in the owner's handwriting.
