Customs and Duties

2.What happens if I am over the limit?

You will have to pay GST and other duties and fees for the whole amount, not only for the excess. Alternatively, if you do nothing after you receive the First Notice from Customs, in 30-45 days your package will be returned to sender (Shopfans) and you can arrange it to be repacked and rearranged (make 2 boxes instead of one). It will cost you an additional $5-60 and you will have to pay for postage again.

We strongly recommend to keep your package value under AUD1000 unless it is an indivisible item.
