Getting Sensitive Items Past Australian Customs

[Gavin Skinner]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of ways of getting sensitive items past customs.
I know customs have recently but blocks on some items coming into the country.

Coughs quietly Give us a hint of what sort? ROFLOL.
No,no need to tell me. For these importations I use a customs agent. Give the likes of Fed Ex or DHL a phone call and discuss your requirements. Quite obviously if it is ultra sensitive and likely to cause you trouble, then forget it.

So what about EMS are they import agents?....By using an import agent is it more likely customs will let the good pass?

?EMS through Australia Post? Never used them myself. An import agent will know how to prepare the documents for bringing in the goods. However I can not say using them is a guarantee. It will depend on the items.

Does anyone here import stuff in containers into Fremantle Port? and any other port?

ok when you say 'Sensitive Items' do you mean ⊗⊗⊗⊗ products???

[GreenBean]

In this case the items are most certainly not ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

Hi,

Check this list on the Aussie customers web site.

customs notices - intellectual property

Trade Marks and copyright - Notices of Objection

If ur goods are on this list then customs have the right to sieze them.

If they are not then they will get through.

Hope this helps.
