How to calculate Australian duty and GST when you import from China to Australia?

Australian duty/GST is paid to AU customs or government who will issue an invoice after you make Australian customs clearance

Australian duty/GST invoice consists of three parts which are DUTY, GST and ENTRY CHARGE.

1.Duty depends on what kind of products.

But as China signed a free trade agreement with Australia, if you can provide FTA certificate, more than 90% of products from China are duty free. FTA certificate is also called COO certificate and it is used to demonstrate that the products are made in China.
