Import Guidelines
Personal Use Import Regulations
You can import non-controlled prescription drugs for personal use or for an immediate family member. Keep the quantity limited to a three-month supply per shipment.
Prescription Requirements for High-Value Shipments
If the medication is classified as prescription-only in Australia (Schedule 4), you must have a valid prescription. Including a copy of your prescription with the shipment is recommended but not mandatory. When placing an order, you must certify that a healthcare provider will supervise the medication’s use.
If your order exceeds $1,000.00 in value you must provide a prescription to facilitate High Value Customs clearance.
Prohibited Goods
Australia provides a comprehensive List of Prohibited Goods.
Customs Clearance Process
Couriers such as Australia Post, FedEx, or DHL handle customs clearance in Australia based on your selected shipping option.
For high-value shipments, the courier must submit The Harmonized System (HS) code for all items and provide necessary licenses or import permits. Most medications fall under HS codes 3006.10 or 3006.20, which are included in the item description when preparing your shipping label. Although not a strict requirement, our policy requires a copy of your prescription for inclusion.
Customs duties and other charges
Responsibility for Import Fees
Please keep in mind that you are responsible for all import fees. The courier will provide a statement for customs duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and other potential charges.
Tax Exemptions for Low-Value Shipments
Shipments valued above $1,000.00 are subject to customs duties and GST (abf.gov.au). However, shipments under this threshold typically qualify for exemption from these charges (dhl.com).
