I want to move to Melbourne, is there anyone who can do this and has customs clearance experience?

According to Australian customs regulations, everyone regardless of region or status, with a visa of more than six months, can bring in general personal household items (but limited to those that have been used for more than 1 year) when moving to Australia. Tariffs will apply. All new items or merchandise (regardless of whether they appear new or old) must be taxed by law.

In other words, if the consigned items belong to the person before they arrive in the local area, have been used for more than one year and have no commercial purpose, the customs will not collect taxes. If you have owned the item for more than a year but have not used it, customs will tax it as new to avoid any possibility of tax evasion. If the item you are carrying is still new, you can provide proof of invoice or warranty from the original purchase. If it is antique furniture that has been refurbished, you can ask the company to provide proof of repairs.

If you are shipping in brand new items, it is recommended that you make appropriate declarations, which can reduce the chance of customs inspection. New immigrants who enter the country for the first time in their first year can enjoy a tax exemption of $400 per adult. If there are taxable goods, you can first tick off the tax exemption amount (calculated based on the total family size), and then calculate the tax. New immigrants do not need to declare in advance when bringing in personal items, but they must fill in the "Unaccompanied effects statement" when importing. The Australian tax rate (including import tax, business tax and sales tax) is 21% for general items, 24% for computers, and others. Approximately 36%-50% for electrical appliances.

MOVING INTO AUSTRALIA (new immigrants moving to Australia)

Australia gives immigrants considerable space, and it is not the limit of only one container as most people say. All items owned and used by yourself or your family can be packed and shipped within one year from the first registration date, and there is no limit on the quantity. However, you still need to consider the reasonableness of value and quantity, and avoid shipping prohibited items.

Professional customs clearance staff can quickly complete customs clearance for you, ensuring that personal items are cleared in the sun, safely and efficiently. .
