Duty Drawback and Refunds
The Duty Drawback Scheme enables exporters to obtain a refund of customs dutypaid on imported goods where those goods will be treated, processed, or incorporated in other goods for export. We can help from processing the paperwork to making a claim. Don’t miss out on taxes that can be claimed back.
Tariff Consultancy
All goods shipped to and from Australia have to be classified. This is so that the government can levy the right amount of taxes against the goods or monitor what is being imported/exported. Our many years of experience means that we have possibly classified your goods in the past and therefore have an understanding of your product.
