Assistance for importers

Search our Grants & Assistance Finder for grants you may be eligible to apply for.

Investigate whether concessions are available for your import. Concession schemes may allow you to import goods for free, at a reduced rate or on a deferred duty payment.

If you're importing goods intended for re-export (either as a whole or as part of a product) you should be eligible for an up-front exemption from Customs duty and Goods and Services Tax through the AusIndustry Tradex scheme. Contact the AusIndustry Hotline on 13 28 46 to find out more.
