The Customs broker is responsible for clearing these goods through Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (Customs and Border Protection) and Biosecurity Service Group (Australian Quarantine Inspection Service) before they reach the Australian market.  \nClearing goods into australia  \nThe process of clearing goods involves the lodgement of an Import Declaration into the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) . Full Import Declarations may be used to clear the goods directly into home consumption or move the goods into a warehouse pending the payment of duties and taxes. Other options for clearing goods are a Self Assessed Clearance (SAC) Declaration for low value goods or an Unaccompanied Personal Effects (UPE) Statement to clear household and personal belongings.  \nClearing goods into Australia can be complex and requires in-depth knowledge of the Customs Tariff in order to correctly classify the goods for duty and tax calculation. In addition, certain types of goods are subject to government regulatory requirements such as motor vehicles and firearms. It is the responsibility of the customs broker in conjunction with the importer to ensure that those requirements are met before the goods are released into home consumption. Customs and Border Protection apply a cost recovery schedule of charges for import processing.  \nreporting options  \nThere are several options available to Customs brokers to communicate cargo information to the ICS. These are as follows:  \n• manually, via a Customs and Border Protection counter  \n• report via the online ICS Customs Interactive facility  \n• report via electronic messaging using your own in house software or a commercially available package.  \nregistration and liCensing  \nCustoms brokers must be licensed under Customs and Border Protection legislation and operate in a strictly regulated environment. The process of obtaining a Customs broker’s licence is complex and prospective licensees are advised to contact Customs and Border Protection for details. Customs brokers require a digital certificate/s and register in the ICS prior to submitting any electronic reports. Customs brokers who choose to report via the Customs Interactive facility should be aware that this facility best suits low volume reporters as thereis no bulk lodgement functionality. Comprehensive supporting documentation is available to clients who wish to develop their own reporting software.  \nFull import deClaration (Fid)  \nFull Import Declarations are used to clear goods valued over the threshold into Australia. It provides details of the cargo, its journey and entities involved. An Import Declaration may only be lodged by the importers or a licensed Customs broker. The Import Declaration is used to pay duties and taxes on the declared goods. Import Declarations link to Cargo Reports and are critical to the process of assessing risk and releasing cargo.  \nThe risk assessment process takes time and some cases require further investigation which may impact on the delivery of the cargo. Both Customs and Border Protection and Biosecurity Service Group are responsible for the risk management of all imported cargo and the interception of high risk and prohibited items.  \nImport Declarations provide information about the goods including:  \n• details about the transportation of the goods  \n• details of the goods  \n• owner of the goods  \n• supplier of the goods  \n• value of the goods  \n• community protection information on the goods.  \nCargo report selF assessed ClearanCe (saC) deClarations  \nThe Cargo Report SAC declaration is lodged as a part of the Cargo Report message. It is used when the goods are:  \n• valued at less than the prescribed import entry threshold  \n• not tobacco or alcohol  \n• not subject to any prohibitions or restrictions.  \nshort Form selF","cbCaiqy15GVb4px9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqy15GVb4px9","pdf",142641,"English","# Clearing goods into Australia\n## Import Declaration types\n# Reporting options and licensing\n## Registration and digital certificates\n# Customs Interactive facility (CI)\n# Compliance and penalties","[{\"question\":\"What does a licensed customs broker do for importers?\",\"answer\":\"A licensed customs broker arranges clearance of goods on the importer’s behalf by submitting the relevant documentation to Australian Customs and Border Protection and the Biosecurity Service Group before goods reach the market.\"},{\"question\":\"When are Full Import Declarations used?\",\"answer\":\"Full Import Declarations are used to clear goods valued over the threshold, providing cargo, journey, and involved entities details and supporting duty and tax payment.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of SAC declarations?\",\"answer\":\"SAC declarations are used when goods are valued below the prescribed import entry threshold and meet the stated conditions, with a short form option available where additional required details must be declared and lodged electronically.\"}]","Licensed Customs Brokers - Quick Guide to Imports | PDF",1790427445]
