Information for Australian
Consumers
Goods with a customs value of A$1,000 or less (referred to as low value
goods) that you purchase from overseas may now include goods and services tax
(GST).
GST will apply at the point of sale in the same way it does when you
buy goods from a business in Australia.
When you purchase low value goods online you may notice GST:
- included in the
advertised price
- added at the
checkout
- included on your receipt or order confirmation.
When you purchase goods sourced from overseas, shipping and/or
insurance costs form part of the price of the delivered goods on which GST is
calculated.
