Import duty & GST in Australia
How the calculator estimates duty and tax for Australia. Rates are the standard defaults — always editable and best confirmed against the official schedule for your exact goods.
- GST is 10% — charged on the Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI): customs value + duty + freight + insurance.
- Customs duty is commonly 5% for many goods, but free under free-trade agreements (ChAFTA, AUSFTA, AANZFTA and others) with a valid Certificate of Origin.
- A$1,000 threshold — goods with a customs value of A$1,000 or less are generally free of duty and GST at the border (alcohol and tobacco excepted). GST on low-value goods is instead collected at the point of sale.
- Import Processing Charge (IPC) applies to consignments over A$1,000 — roughly A$50–A$192 depending on value and how the declaration is lodged.
- Cars & vehicles attract 5% duty plus 10% GST, and Luxury Car Tax may apply above the LCT threshold — enter your vehicle value above to model it.
Estimates for guidance only — not legal or customs advice. Confirm duty rates and thresholds with the official tariff schedule or a licensed customs broker before you file.

A supplier's quote rarely tells the full story. Ocean or air freight, marine insurance, import duty, VAT or GST, and customs brokerage can add 15–40% to your product cost. EximKit's Landed Cost Calculator models every layer — including your Incoterm and de-minimis rules — so you know the real per-unit number before you wire a deposit.

FAQ
Landed cost questions
How much is import duty in Australia?
Most goods carry a general customs duty of 5%, but many are duty-free under Australia's free-trade agreements when accompanied by a valid Certificate of Origin. Duty is calculated on the customs value of the goods in AUD.
How is GST calculated on imports into Australia?
Import GST is 10% of the Value of the Taxable Importation — the customs value plus any customs duty, plus the international transport and insurance to Australia.
What is the A$1,000 import threshold?
Shipments with a customs value of A$1,000 or less are generally cleared free of duty and GST at the border. For low-value goods sold to consumers, 10% GST is usually collected by the supplier or platform at checkout instead.
How much is import tax on a car in Australia?
Imported vehicles generally attract 5% customs duty and 10% GST, and Luxury Car Tax can apply above the LCT threshold. Enter the vehicle's value and a 5% duty rate above to estimate the total.
What is a de-minimis threshold?
It's the shipment value below which a country waives duty (and sometimes tax). The calculator flags whether your shipment is above or below it.
Do Incoterms change my landed cost?
Yes. Your Incoterm decides which costs are already in the supplier price. Pick CIF and freight/insurance are included; pick DDP and duty/tax are paid by the seller.
