Clearance charges???
 

Hi,

Can someone tell me the handling/clearing and all inclusive charges to clear a 25 cubic meter container from melbourne port? I guess no taxes for a PR holder.
Need to get a rough idea bfr i ship my goods.

It varies. It's hard to estimate, too. The fees depend on whether AQIS decide anything needs to be fumigated/destroyed, etc.

Ours was about $300 if I remember right, but nothing had to be destroyed. I don't even think they looked at any of our stuff to be honest.

They wouldn't care if you're a PR holder or not, it doesn't enter into their decisions.

well , i'm worried since a known person told me it costs you around AUD 1900 to clear the stuff per container even nothing gets destroyed

is it easy to pass the custom,
when deliver the products made in China ?

Well, they gave you the wrong info then! It's about $300 plus fees for anything that might need cleaning/destroying.

You can look the fees up on the AQIS website: there is a set tariff.

Our removal company had the set fee already included in their charges. We then paid $60 to have a hedge trimmer cleaned a bit more by AQIS.

Rubbish. The only way you'd get a fee like that is if you had a mountain of stuff that needed fumigating or destroying.
