A licensed Australian customs broker is your representative before the Australian Border Force. Brokers prepare and lodge your Import Declarations, classify goods under the correct tariff, calculate duty and GST liabilities, and ensure your imports comply with all customs and biosecurity laws. Using a broker is the fastest, lowest-risk way to clear goods from China. Spotyard arranges this brokerage through licensed partners and does not itself hold a customs broker licence.
Spotyard partners with experienced customs brokers who specialise in China-Australia trade. We do more than tick boxes — we actively look for tariff classifications that legitimately reduce your duty, identify ChAFTA preference opportunities, and flag potential refunds (Tradex, drawback) where applicable.
Under the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA), many goods originating from China qualify for reduced or zero duty. Claiming this benefit requires a valid Certificate of Origin and correct application of the rules of origin. We coordinate the paperwork end-to-end with our broker partners so you actually receive the savings.
Our brokerage service covers everything from one-off shipments to ongoing high-volume supply chains. Through our licensed broker partners we can arrange a dedicated broker for every import, or handle clearance only where complications arise — your choice.
