Frequently Asked Questions About Importing Agricultural Produce Cleaning, Sorting, and Processing Equipment
What permits or approvals are required to import agricultural machinery?
Importing agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment to Australia does not require any import permits unless the equipment is pre-used. Platinum® only works with new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment destined for Australia. Our customs clearance team liases closely with both you and your overseas supplier together before the goods depart from overseas for Australia.
Are there biosecurity regulations for importing these machines?
Platinum® only works with new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment destined for Australia. All new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment imported to Australia needs to pass through the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) border regulations. Platinum® works with both you and your overseas supplier together to address these issues before shipping to Australia.
If the Full Container Load (FCL) carrying the agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment is destined for a rural postcode, the FCL will need to be collected from the wharf and taken to the quarantine depot for a rural tailgate inspection before the FCL can be delivered to the rural postcode for unpacking.
How are customs duty and GST calculated for agricultural equipment?
Most new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment that Platinum® customs clears destined for Australia does not need to pay import duty but does need to pay GST.
GST is calculated by ascertaining the cost of the new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment plus shipping and insurance to Australia, then converted to AUD and then multiplied by 10%.
Can Platinum® liaise directly with my overseas supplier?
Yes, that is one of the key differences between Platinum® and any other customs broker, we liaise with both you and your overseas supplier together.
Platinum® also provides you with One Touch®, where you will only ever deal with one customs broker from Platinum® from the very beginning through to the very end.
Is there support available for custom-built machinery?
Platinum® regularly works with bespoke and customised new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment.
In some instances, the overseas supplier will send their technicians to Australia to assist you in having the new agricultural produce cleaning, sorting, and processing equipment installed and made operational.
