Using a US Freight Forwarder for Australian Delivery

Most US retailers do not ship directly to Australia, or they charge astronomical fees to do so. This is where a freight forwarder becomes your best friend. By using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway, you can shop like a US local and save on domestic sales tax. Here is a brief how it works overview:

• Sign up for a comGateway account to get your US address.
• Purchase the bag from a US retailer (like Coach or Nordstrom).
• If the store rejects your Australian credit card, use the BuyForMe service for an assisted purchase.
• Once it arrives at the warehouse, choose your preferred international shipping method.

If you have questions about package consolidation or storage, the FAQ section covers everything from insurance to restricted items.

Import Tax and Australia Customs Considerations

Ignoring the import tax rules in Australia is a recipe for a delayed package. In Australia, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to most low-value imported goods. Since the Coach Brooklyn 39 is a premium item, ensure you have accounted for the 10% GST that may be collected at the point of entry or through your freight forwarder. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, both carriers will ensure your paperwork is handled correctly so your new work tote doesn't get stuck in customs limbo.
