CHANGES TO ENTRY PROCESSING FEES

5/11/2015

BR International wishes to inform all import clients of an impending adjustment to the Biosecurity ( DAFF/Quarantine) component of the entry processing fee which is imposed on all Import Declarations where the consignment value is greater than $1,000 AUD. 

The Biosecurity Cost Recovery Implementation Statement ( CRIS ) 2015-16  was released this week and outlines the redesigned Biosecurity fees which will come into effect as of December 1st, 2015.  

 

The relative adjustments are outlined below :-

 

Service

Old Fee

New Fee

Import Declaration - Air, Customs value under $10,000

$56.20

$73.20

Import Declaration  - Air, Customs value over $10,000

$138.10

$155.10

Import Declaration - Sea, LCL, Customs value under $10,000

$73.00

$92.00

Import Declaration - Sea, LCL, Customs value over $ 10,000

$175.60

$194.60

Import Declaration - Sea,  FCL, Customs value under $10,000

$95.00 + $ 30 per additional container

$92.00

Import Declaration - Sea, FCL, Customs value over $10,000

$197.60 + $ 30 per additional container

$194.60

 

Whilst the fee for some modes of transport have risen, it is important to note that the previous “per container” charge for  FCL consignments will be replaced by a flat fee which will certainly provide significant savings where consignments include multiple containers.

 

BR International understands the Department of Immigration and Border Protection ( Customs ) component of the entry processing fee is also being reviewed with a targeted commencement date of 1 January, 2016. We will monitor this situation and provide updates when they develop. 

 

Keeping you updated,

Customs Department
