The full cost cascade, calculated automatically
Australian import costs aren't just "duty + GST". There's IPC, biosecurity charges, and the GST base has its own rules about what's included. The calculator works through every step.
GST base = customs value + duty + freight + insurance. IPC and biosecurity are not included in it. For goods with a customs value of $1,000 or less, duty and GST are generally not collected at the border; the seller may charge GST instead.
Built for accuracy
We don't guess duty rates. Every calculation is derived from published government data — the ABF Working Tariff Schedule 3, the DFAT FTA Portal, and RBA exchange rates — and follows the ABF's own calculation routines.
Follows the ABF calculation routines
Duty on the customs value, GST on the value of the taxable importation, exactly as the ABF sets them out
Low-value goods handled
At or below $1,000 customs value, ordinary goods show no duty or GST at the border
Government data, dated
ABF Working Tariff, DFAT FTA Portal and RBA exchange rates, with the date of each shown on the calculator
Flags what needs a closer look
Excise-type goods such as alcohol, tobacco and fuel are called out instead of being priced at zero
