🧾 Tax included in the price?

Australian GST (10%) is included in all Australian store prices. For international orders shipped outside Australia: Australian businesses are NOT required to charge GST on exported goods — exports are GST-free. Most Australian online retailers correctly apply 0% GST on international orders at checkout. However some smaller stores may not adjust pricing for international orders — if the price does not change when you enter an overseas address, contact the store to confirm GST has been removed. The Australian Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) applies only to goods purchased in Australia and carried out in your hand luggage through Australian airports — it does NOT apply to online orders shipped internationally.

🔁 Do you need a forwarding service?

Rarely needed — most major Australian retailers (THE ICONIC, Chemist Warehouse, Ugg Australia, most fashion brands) ship internationally. Some smaller regional or artisan sellers ship Australia-only. Compare forwarding services →

🚫 Export & import restrictions

Australia has strict biosecurity export regulations. Many food products (fresh produce, certain packaged foods containing plant or animal material) face restrictions at destination countries. Supplements and health products: some Australian formulations contain ingredients restricted in certain countries. Check both Australian export rules and your own country's import rules before ordering food or health items.
