Australian Customs

Australian Customs

The Australian government prohibits the import and export of certain goods to and from Australia. Some of these goods can be imported or exported with a license, however many are subject to absolute prohibition and cannot be imported under any circumstances.

Sending prohibited items will hold the parcel up in customs, and risks the goods being seized and potential fines or imprisonment. It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure their parcel does not contain any prohibited items. You can find out more about Australian Border Force here.

What Can I Not Send to Australia?

The Australian government are careful over what is allowed in and out of their borders to not only protect their residents, but to help keep the natural environment free from diseases and pests that may be inadvertently sent from other countries around the world.

To enable this, there are some items that are restricted or banned entirely from entering the country. Sending some of these prohibited items can result in fines or prosecution.

Example items that you cannot send to Australia include:

  • Aerosols of any kind
  • Animals
  • Batteries
  • Counterfeit goods
  • Drones
  • E-cigarettes
  • Firearms and ammunition
  • Meat products and milk
  • Ivory or other banned products
  • Pornography
  • Tobacco

Before Sending a Parcel to Australia
