Customs and VAT for Australia

Australia is known for the world's strictest biosecurity controls. GST (Goods and Services Tax) of 10% applies from the first euro of declared value. Customs duty applies on shipments above 1,000 AUD (approx. €600), with most goods at 0–5%. The critical risk is biosecurity: Australian Border Force x-rays and manually inspects all incoming shipments. Anything organic — seeds, wooden items, food, used outdoor footwear, cosmetics with natural ingredients — may be seized and destroyed or returned at the sender's expense.
