First Time Importers

New to Importing? Seek Expert Advice First

When importing items into Australia, you will not be required to have a license in the majority of instances.

However, an importer might need to get a permission to bring certain things into the country, particularly if the commodities are considered to be a biosecurity risk.

For the majority of commodities we can facilitate their entry into Australia quickly and simply through customs, with the exception of drugs, guns, and certain products made from endangered species.

An expert customs broker will help you understand if you need a license and give professional advice on how to obtain one.
