Is it okay to send cosmetics from France to Australia???

Because the customs supervision is not the same, so I don't know the situation in France, my company sends it from China every day, because the country is not allowed to send powders and liquids (or need to be issued by national agencies to issue test reports), we can only write products that meet the requirements, such as plastics, paper and so on. Generally speaking, when you check the looseness, FedEx DHL and so on can let you pass, and it is difficult to say if the check is strict.

But there is another situation, if it is found by France, it can't be sent, and then it can't be sent, so there's nothing; What I am afraid of is that I will be found to be inconsistent with the name of the product in Australia, and I will be fined a high amount of customs clearance, which will be a big trouble, of course, you can also return it to France, just pay more freight, and pay for customs clearance.

It's best to find someone to bring it. It might be better to hide in some clothing.

If you send it, it is not cost-effective, and the amount is small.

The new customs policy implemented on September 1 is that the value of items sent from overseas to China cannot exceed 1,000 yuan, otherwise taxes will be levied.

You can see the specific regulations here:

Items sent from or to other countries and regions are limited to 1,000 RMB per transaction".

If the personal mailing of inbound and outbound articles exceeds the prescribed limit, the return procedures shall be completed or the customs clearance procedures shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the goods. However, if there is only one item in the parcel and it is inseparable, although it exceeds the prescribed limit, it is indeed for personal use after examination and approval by the Customs, it may go through customs clearance procedures in accordance with the provisions of the personal belongings."

So if your friend only sends you a cosmetic product, with a value of more than 1,000 yuan, then it is still possible, but it is possible, that there is no tax. However, given that cosmetics are too "commodity" (you think, even milk powder is not considered a duty-free item), so I am afraid it is difficult to treat it as a "personal item". So I'm afraid that the 5,000 yuan worth will definitely be taxed.

Especially when this new rule has just been implemented, the investigation will be very strict.

The value is so high or don't send it, China stipulates that you can only send less than 1,000 yuan at a time, the tariff is 50%, you can try to find a Chinese express company, some are responsible for customs declaration, but the current situation is not optimistic.

Is there a duty to mail personal belongings from abroad to Australia? What is the tax standard? The reporter consulted the staff of Hailong International Baggage Shipping Company.

The staff told reporters that according to the provisions of the Announcement No. 43 of 2010 of the General Administration of Customs, the customs shall levy import tax on the imported articles mailed by individuals in accordance with the law, and classify the imported goods for personal self-use that exceed the amount specified by the General Administration of Customs but are still within a reasonable amount, determine the tax paid ** and the applicable tax rate, and levy import tax. Among them, the tax rate for cigarettes, alcohol and cosmetics is 50%. If the amount of import tax payable is less than RMB 50 (including 50 yuan), the customs will exempt it.

According to the 50% tax rate, the cosmetics sent by Ms. Guo's younger generation from South Korea are worth more than 900 yuan, and an import tax of 450 yuan will be levied.

Nanjing Customs Staff: All inbound goods need to be levied customs duties, in line with the premise of levying tariffs, before the first tariff, whether your tax amount reaches the tax amount of 50 yuan, you need to pay (tariffs), and then the premise of the tax standard is that the things you buy and the things sent by others have no excess value, more than a certain amount or more than 1,000 yuan, are not within the scope of taxation. If it exceeds 1,000 yuan, it is worth a lot, and it cannot be released from our side by paying taxes, and it needs to be declared through a foreign trade company, or returned.

The staff of Hailong International Baggage Shipping Company reminds everyone that for items sent by individuals from or to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the limit value is 800 yuan each time; Items sent from or to other countries and regions are limited to 1,000 RMB per transaction. If the personal mailing of inbound and outbound articles exceeds the prescribed limit, the return procedures shall be completed or the customs clearance procedures shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the goods. However, if there is only one item in the parcel and it is inseparable, although it exceeds the prescribed limit, it is indeed for personal use after examination and approval by the Customs, it may go through customs clearance procedures in accordance with the provisions of the personal belongings."

The reason for this regulation is mainly because of the rapid development of online shopping, mail order, overseas ** and other businesses, and from their actual supervision, it is found that some criminals try to split the imported goods into multiple bills, falsely report them as personal items, and use the preferential provisions of tax exemption for personal items to enter the country through postal and express channels to evade supervision. This kind of illegal behavior not only causes the loss of national tax revenue, but also evades the state's control over imported goods, so that the relevant goods flow into the domestic market without safety, health and quality control, and consumers cannot get the protection they deserve.

According to Announcement No. 43 of the General Administration of Customs [2010],The limit for items sent by individuals to or from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is RMB 800 per transaction; Items sent from or to other regions are limited to 1,000 RMB per transaction. If the taxable amount is less than 50 yuan (including 50 yuan) for personal mailed articles, it shall be exempted, and if the tax amount exceeds the exempted amount, it shall be taxed according to the provisions of Announcement No. 15 of 2012 of the General Administration of Customs. Only things brought on the plane are eligible for a tax refund.

If you need to check in cosmetics, you should show it to the tax refund officer before checking in your baggage, and they can stamp it before you can put it in your checked baggage and send it away. Other items that can be carried with you need to go to the place where you can get a tax refund after passing the security check. (There is a tax refund sign before passing the security check and entering the duty-free shop) There are many return gift shops in Australia, which have express delivery to China, and the stores in the urban area may be high for tourists and goods, so you can find a mailing point in advance and buy it at the supermarket pharmacy to deliver it.

It is recommended that milk powder health products can be mailed, which is too heavy and takes up a lot of baggage, and the milk powder ** is not high. Try to mail cheap and heavy things back to your home country, and bring high-value, light-weight ones with you. Luxury goods in Australia are not cheap, because there are no big brands in the country.

Australia also has a consumption tax, it is recommended to check it in advance** for comparison

Cosmetics can actually be mailed abroad

Due to the characteristics of cosmetics that are easy to leak and easily contaminate other shipments, they are defined as sensitive goods in air transportation.

International couriers such as SF Express and DHL usually do not accept personal mailing of sensitive goods, which also leads many people to think that cosmetics cannot be sent abroad.

In fact, it is possible to send cosmetics abroad through EMS or DHL channels through international shipping**

Cosmetics that can be mailed overseas**, mascara, eyelash growth serum, cream, essential oil, hyaluronic acid stock solution, shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, nail polish gel, toner, lipstick, lip gloss, etc., can be legally mailed abroad.

Many courier companies are afraid of trouble and do not mail, because there was an aviation ban before the Olympics, and now although it has been lifted, many of them still cannot be mailed, unless you are familiar with the courier company, because you can mail it back from abroad

The most important thing is to bring liquid, can not get on the plane, the freight forwarding company can send, with a small amount of liquid no more than 100ml
