Hi ppl,

I have some items from japan being held at custom. I am looking around yellowpages and I dont know who I should use as my custom broker.

Could anyone please recommend one? How much would it cost for the service? This is my first time doing this, so wouldnt have a clue.

And Yes, I have use search function but nothing really specifically address my question.

Thanks

umm..

you don't need a broker, custom will contact you if they require you to play tax, if not custom will check it over and if everything is ok you should get it within a week or so just depends how long custom wants to hold it for or how busy they are... i had one item held for about 2weeks they must have just been busy..

Thanks for the input [Michael]

They sent me some forms to fill up...but they require me to register to get a Declaration ID (for example: ABN, CCID (custom client identification ID), or Client activity Centre No. (CAC)) first...

is that the normal procedure?

The items all add up more than A$1000...

also, can i just go to the custom office and settle everything down over there and collect my items? Anyone know where is the office? tried to look at their website but nothing much there.

did you get a registering as a member form (something like that), if so fill that out and fill it out for the supplier, and with the declaration dont neet to worry about the abn ccid etc. you can fill out the registering form on the behalf of the supplier. with the supplier just fill out all you know, with mine one did i just put down a name and e mail. also it will help if you give them reciet of your purchase and proof of payment and also your ID like you drivers license.

if need any help just ask i just done mine for my bride seats, got mine off greenline

i know all my items which were stop in custom where over in Melbourne, never in perth.

as flash89 said proof of amount paid on the item is important, if you paid by bank transfer go to the bank and get a transcript of the transaction. As they may (i can't remember) ask you to prove the amounted paid is the amount of the ems form. OR most likly it just you have to pay tax as the order was over $1000

also i just just reading over again you said that if all the items add up to $1000, thought it was only if one item was over $1000 that you might have to pay dutys etc

if you have all the items ship together, then i believe its the total value of all the items

I have my items shipped separately (each item has their own article number/tracking number).

also, the sender actually marked them as gift.

One of the items has actually been delivered. The rest were held in the custom :thumbsup:

i am guessing it is all in one box cause i ordered the bride seats with rails all in one hit with mine. got the rails but seats got stopped in customs also i got coil overs aswell and they were 1400ish and they didnt get stopped by customs but i am guessing cause they were in two boxes. wouldnt hurt to ask about it.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
