What Is Customs Clearance?
Customs clearance is a critical process for anyone looking to import or export goods in and out of Australia. Before goods can be released from customs control, they must be cleared through the Australian Border Force (formerly the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service). This involves a detailed assessment of the goods in question, including a review of the accompanying paperwork, such as invoices, packing lists and shipping documents, to ensure compliance with Australian laws and regulations. The process also ensures that any relevant taxes or duties, such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or customs duties, are correctly assessed and paid.
