The full cost cascade, calculated automatically

Australian import costs aren't just "duty + GST". There's IPC, biosecurity levies, anti-dumping measures, and the GST base itself has specific rules about what's included. The calculator handles all of it.

GST base = CIF + Duty + AD Duty. IPC and biosecurity are not included in the GST base (per GST Act 1999 Division 13-20). For goods with CIF at or below $1,000, GST is collected from the overseas seller under the Low-Value Imported Goods rules.

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. The logic is continuously tested against the legislation it implements.

Engineered for 2026 ABF Compliance

Built against the Customs Act 1901 and the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999

250+ Automated Regulatory Tests

Duty calculations, GST base logic, IPC thresholds, FTA fallback rules, and low-value goods handling — all continuously tested

Logic-Verified Against the GST Act 1999

GST base correctly excludes IPC and biosecurity per Division 13-20. LVIG threshold correctly exempts goods at $1,000 CIF
