Has that FREE TRADE AGREEMENT started

1st January 2005.

[BigDatto]

I enquired about the Free Trade Agreement with customs officers at Clyde, they clarified that it only applies to goods manufactured in the USA, & there has been some confusion over this point.

example A: goods mfg in USA, purchased from USA, no import duty

example B: goods mfg in Canada, purchased from USA, 15% import duty

example C: goods mfg in USA, purchased from Asia, 15% import duty

Also there are concessions for certain vehicle parts, but i didn't get the lowdown on that.

so... buyer beware !

Never had a parcel opened by Customs from the USA since January, if it is post marked "from the USA" they seem to let it through. If the value is high enough they slap some GST on it, but never had any duty applied.

The definitions of "made in", "manufactured in", "product of" etc are just as blurred as in Australia. I think it is just too hard for them.

cheers

The 15% duty is long gone from anywhere , its now 10% from countries other than USA ( since jan 1-05 ) however bigdatto is correct but in practice what SK said goes , no-one will open a parcel from USA but dont forget the 10% GST is payable always .

[lwells]

Does anyone have any other recommendations for U.S.-based turbo sellers? Google turned up a bunch of useless websites...

[BigDatto]

I only mentioned this because they did open the parcel (in front of me) & said "WTF is this ?? (to use the parlance of our times). If I had let the parcel continue to the post office I'm sure it would have remained sealed. But xmas had come early & I couldn't wait !!

Depends on the item, but standard GST/import duties apply. This may change in the near future if the proposed free trade agreements with some of our Asian neighbours go ahead.
