Has anyone had a parts order over $1000AUD (up around $1500AUD) from the UK? I'm trying to find out what all the charges would be when landed here on $1500. Thanks |

I have found it to be a bit of a lottery? Seems to depend on who processes the package through customs as to how much you end up paying? My last package that I did pay some amount on was 750GBP. and I was only charged $75 AUS? Which was customs fee and GST on the amount over $1000 AUS. So good luck and if religious then also pray:) |

I usually break it down into smaller orders to keep $ amounts down. Seems the heavy/ large orders attract attention |

The Customs and border protection site is an absolute joke for trying to find this info but it is there.. eventually. for autoparts from uk Dutiable value include parts plus shipping costs add 5% for customs duty from UK (if other imports or from different country ..do more reading) add 10% GST .. on the whole figure and then sometimes add a one off fee like an inspection fee $50-85 if agricultural etc requiring spray treatment possibly more some retailers leave it to the courier company FEDEX etc to do all of this, they just fill in the form |

So for your 1000 dollar purchase, you will need to pay customs (or the freight forwarder acting on Customs behalf) about $150 before they will release your package for delivery. Sometimes if you're lucky they charge you on the value of the parts and not the freight, but that's just chance. |

They don't always charge it. I've had a few orders over $1k and haven't been charged yet, I think it's a semi random inspection thing. |

I've brought in packages over 1k from the States and the UK. No extra fees yet... |
