Unlike other Customs administrations, there is no provision for travelers to obtain a refund
of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on their purchases when they leave the country. In order
to purchase goods without payment of GST, travelers are required to purchase from a
duty-free shop.

Australian Customs Regulations
Please keep in mind that Australian Customs Regulations apply when you enter Australia and
that all regulations are subject to change without notice. In general, travelers are allowed to
bring $A900 (approximately $818 U.S.) worth of goods into Australia free of duty and sales
tax, not including alcohol or tobacco, when the goods accompany the passenger. The limit is
$A450 (approximately $409 U.S.) for travelers under 18 years of age. The maximum amount of
alcohol allowed per person is 2.25 liters. The maximum amount of tobacco allowed per person
is 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars. Food items of any kind—even ones that are allowed into
the country—must be declared. For more information, you may want to contact the Australian
Customs Service.

Security: In addition to their customs restrictions, the Australian government has security
measures to limit the amount of liquids, aerosols, and gels that can be taken through the

perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste and similar substances should not exceed 100ml (3.3
ounces) each and will have to be carried in a re-sealable clear plastic bag, no larger than 20cm
x 20cm, and be inspected separately. There is a limit of one bag per person. Any sharp items
(i.e. nail scissors) should be in your checked luggage.
