When an independent customs broker can help

Some shipments need a closer review of the goods, the circumstances of their importation or the customs treatment available.

Atlas can assist where:

• FedEx has asked you to arrange clearance through an outside customs broker.
• Your shipment contains inherited or bequeathed goods.
• You are importing personal effects or household belongings.
• Your goods require a more detailed customs entry or assessment.
• You would like advice on whether a duty concession or GST exemption may apply.

We review the information available, explain what is required and coordinate the customs clearance information with FedEx.

Personal effects and inherited goods

Personal belongings and inherited goods can have different clearance requirements and concession pathways.

Atlas can assess your circumstances and help identify the appropriate approach. We will explain what supporting information is needed, including where goods have no purchase invoice because they are your own belongings or have been inherited.

Checking the correct duty and GST treatment

The duty and GST payable depend on the goods and the circumstances of the importation.

Atlas reviews your shipment for applicable duty concessions, preferential duty rates and GST exemptions, helping you understand the available options before the declaration is lodged.

Concessions and exemptions are subject to eligibility requirements and supporting evidence. We will explain which options may apply to your shipment.
