Australian customs may review item names, quantity, value, purpose and product category. Clearer information helps reduce the chance of additional document requests. Vague descriptions such as daily goods or gifts are not helpful when a parcel contains food, medicine, electronics or high-value items.
Tax is not decided by the shipping company. It depends on Australian customs rules, declared value, product type and whether the parcel appears to be for personal or commercial use. Personal parcels are not automatically tax free.
Check restricted items before shipping. Separate sensitive goods from normal goods. Keep product links, photos and ingredient information for food, medicine and health products. Avoid under-declaring or hiding items.
