Buying from Chrono24 from AUSTRALIA

[midnightblue]

Hi Aussies, I am wanting to hear someone’s experience in buying from C24.
I’m just trying to figure out how it’s really done. According to my quick google search… I will have to add on 10% gst then 5% import tax. Item I’m interested in ordering is from South East Asia.

I bought an instrument many years ago from the US and all I recall is receiving a call from customs and I just paid over the phone. i think it was around 10% of the item price. I did not fill out any forms or anything.

Am I expecting things accurately? Is there a form I need to fill out and lodge prior to ordering?? Or do I just have extra $$ ready for gst and import fee and wait to be called??

Can any Aussies with buying from C24 shed some light in to this?

Cheers,

Not from AU but yeah customs will apply. In addition to C24 taxes. Some will claim a lower value on the customs form but they sometimes get scrutinized and I don't know what the outcome is in that case.
