Import tax question
As I understand goods bought overseas for $1000+ attract 10% GST plus 5% customs fee (10% customs fee for automotive parts).
I about to buy an exhaust for roughly $700 and the shipping is about $350 from Japan, with the total price over $1000 would I have to pay tax because of the shipping cost or is it only the item price that you are taxed on? Cheers. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk |

Nope, you pay on the total including shipping.
So $1050 + 10%= $1155 +10%= $1306, plus whatever misc costs they can think of.

Ask the seller if they are willing to lower the value of the exhaust on the shipping form.
Which place are you buying it from?

Nengun, they said they won't alter the cost price but can insure it for 50% which they reckon customs goes by but if anything happens to it then I only get 50% of the price back.
When I asked them about taxes they said they don't know the taxes and fees for every country in the world, even though they know I'm Australian and they are Australian too I thought they would have some idea. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk |

How about invoices and receipts for the $700 and the $350 separately.

Tyres and shipping came in at $978 AUD so they couldn't get me and tyres were released once they had a copy of the sales invoice (which was actually attached to all four tyres).

Try RHD Japan as they did it a few times for me and are generally cheaper than every other online Japanese parts store.

Yeah. RHDJapan is a good store too. But Nengun is cheaper on some things. And the shipping quotes vary wildly between the 2, even on the exact same part. So shop around.
