Other Accompanied Goods
Each traveller may import other accompanied goods up to a total combined value of $700, free of duty and GST. Children are eligible for this allowance provided the goods are their own property and a child would reasonably expect to own and use them. The goods must:
- accompany the traveller through the Customs arrival processes
- be for the personal use of the traveller, or intended as gifts.
The goods must not:
- be for use in the traveller’s business or profession
- be imported for other persons at their request
- include alcohol and tobacco products (see above).
Individuals travelling together cannot combine their individual $700 allowances. Goods imported in excess of the allowance may be liable for
Customs charges.
