Temporary Imports and Securities

Customs Clearance

The term temporary imports refers to those goods which are to be in Australia for a short time and then exported.  The Australian Customs Service would generally ask for a monetary security to be undertaken by the importer for the expected duty and GST payable on the goods as if they were to remain in the country.  The goods may be inspected upon entering and exiting Australia,  once the goods have exited Australia and the necessary paperwork has been produced to the Australian Customs Service and they are satisfied that the goods have been exported, the security (money)  is then returned by cheque or EFT.

Temporary imports and securities are time sensitive and therefore we ask that you allow us 5 working days to undertake the necessary work on your behalf before the goods arrive.

 As every temporary import and it’s applicable customs security is unique, we welcome you to contact us in regards to your project so that we may advise you accordingly  in regards to the procedures, costs and requirements.
