How is Australian GST calculated and charged?
When you import goods into Australia, Australian customs charges a 10% goods and services tax (GST) based on the value of the items and any service and shipping charges. Australian customs collects GST on merchant shipments over 1,000.00 AUD, while MyUS collects GST on shipments equal to or less than 1,000.00 AUD.
GST is valued and charged by each store's merchandise (e.g., if you ship a package with a 200.00 item from Store A and a 1,200.00 item from Store B, MyUS will collect the GST for Store A, and Australian customs will collect the GST for Store B).
Any GST collected by MyUS will display when you submit a ship request from your account to an Australian address. Click here to learn more.
