Useful Information

The trip between the USA and Australia is a long one and your package will likely change carriers in transit, so secure packaging is important. The country is also very strict about valuation and customs declarations, so never ship anything without carefully and correctly filling out all applicable paperwork; neglecting to do this can delay delivery significantly. Your shipment may also be subject to the Goods and Service Tax.

Customs Info

Australia has some of the more cautious rules and regulations surrounding imports because of its reliance on agriculture, many things that are allowed, are subject to close inspection and quarantine. To maintain the country's clean standards, you will be unable to ship many meat and dairy products, as well as plants or soil. Items that come into contact with soil, such as used gardening equipment, outdoor furniture and bicycles may be held unless cleaned thoroughly. Only a few categories are prohibited entirely from import to Australia. This includes things like cloned embryos and tools designed to assist in suicide. Most other categories are merely restricted. This includes: weapons, explosives, diamonds, pesticides, prescription or illicit drugs, tobacco and toys. As a rule, never attempt to ship restricted items without first fully understanding the parameters and obtaining permits.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item to give you that peace of mind. This charge will be added into the quote so you will know it has been added. Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void. It is also vital to remember your parcel is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box. Your protection cover, should your parcel meet all the guidelines and terms agreed to at the time of booking, will cover you for damaged items and if the goods are lost.

  • How long will it take for my parcel to be delivered?

    It depends on two key factors- shipping destination and the service you choose from the marketplace. When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the courier themselves as they handle the goods. This will act as a guide so you can see roughly how long it will take to arrive with the receiver. You can choose slower economy services if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedier service that gets the parcel delivered more quickly, depending on your exact needs.
