Epic Sourcing ensures all imports meet current compliance requirements, including proper labelling, certifications, and customs documentation.
Total import costs typically include: 0% customs duty (for most products), 10% GST on total value including duty and shipping, import processing fees ($23-$192), and shipping costs (5-15% of product value). Under ChAFTA, many products qualify for reduced or zero duty rates. Epic Sourcing helps optimise these costs and can assist with GST registration for further savings.
MOQs can vary by product type and manufacturer, typically ranging from 100 to 1000 pieces for consumer goods.
