Australian Tariff Policy
Dear Valued Customers in Australia,
To ensure you have the best experience when ordering our genuine TBSS TAIWAN parts (KYMCO, Yamaha, SYM), we have prepared this guide regarding Australian customs policies and shipping expectations.
1. Understanding GST and Customs Duties
Australia applies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on most imported goods. Please be aware of the following:
-
The AUD 1,000 Threshold: * Orders Under AUD 1,000: These are classified as "Low Value Imports." While a 10% GST is legally required, these orders are generally exempt from "Customs Duty" and the expensive "Import Processing Charge."
-
Shopping Tip: To ensure the most cost-effective delivery, we recommend keeping your total order value (Parts + Shipping) below AUD 1,000. This is the most efficient way to enjoy your new parts without the complexity of a formal customs entry.
-
-
Orders Over AUD 1,000: Orders exceeding this value will require a Formal Import Entry. This triggers additional Customs Duty (typically 5%), 10% GST, and an Import Processing Charge (which can range from AUD 50 to over AUD 100).
-
DHL Disbursement Fees: If you choose DHL Express, note that they may charge an administrative fee (typically AUD 20–30) for prepaying the 10% GST to the Australian government on your behalf.
2. Shipping Methods and Estimated Delivery Times
Our shipping windows include a 2-day buffer for processing and international transit to provide you with a realistic arrival date.
| Shipping Method | Estimated Delivery | Features |
| DHL Express | 3–5 Business Days | Fastest premium service with real-time tracking. |
| EMS (Speed Post) | 6–9 Business Days | Reliable service delivered via Australia Post. |
| Air Parcel | 10–18 Business Days | Standard international air mail service. |
| International e-Packet | 14–25 Business Days | Economical tracked service for small/light parts. |
※ Note: Delivery times may be affected by customs inspections or local logistics peaks.

A Note on Tracking
