How is import duty worked out on a parcel from the UK to Australia?

Duty is a percentage of the goods' value. The percentage is set by the product's HS code and the country it was made in, so the same hoodie can carry a different rate if it was made in the UK or in China.

How much is GST on goods sent to Australia?

GST at 10%, charged on the goods, the duty and the shipping cost. The calculator shows it on the goods and duty; the shipping part depends on the service you choose.

Which HS code does the calculator use?

Pick a product category and it uses the code from Australia's own tariff where we hold one, and shows it to you. Where we don't, it shows the international six-digit code. If you already know your product's code, type it in for the exact rate.

Is the calculator free?

Yes, for 10 calculations. After that, install the app for Shopify or WooCommerce, or connect another platform from the integrations page: duty and tax are then worked out for every product in your catalogue and shown in your checkout.

Does the result include shipping?

No. It is the duty and tax on the goods. To see shipping and import charges together for a parcel, use the rate calculator on the pricing page and choose a product type.
