INDONESIAN STUDENTS

With shipments of personal effects: in order to minimize the excessive Import Duty & Tax, the shipper (you) must obtain a written statement from the Indonesian Embassy that goods are indeed PERSONAL EFFECTS; that is having no value and/or not for resale. In addition the “Packing List” must be stamped and legalized by the Indonesian Embassy. This is a fixed rule from Indonesian Customs.  Airfreight Door to Door services are now available.

 

 

MALAYSIA STUDENTS

 

Malaysia students do not have to complete a customs duty and sales tax declaration form for their personal effects. Common law in Malaysia already provides the provision of used personal effects without duty & taxes. You can always seek advise from your consular representative in Australia to clarify if some items pay duties or taxes.

 

SINGAPOREAN STUDENTS

 

Singaporean Students: please complete the linked form and hand it to our representative when the goods are collected. Shipments below AUD$350.00 are free of GST in Singapore.

We have been advised by our agent in Singapore that VCD,DVD, music CD and all kinds of CD's are 'control items' in Singapore. So do not ship these at all as penalties will apply.

As for wines/liqueurs, these are also a 'control items' in Singapore. If you wish to take back any of these items then these have to be hand carried only. Each student is allowed only one bottle (less then 2 Litres).
