How to Buy on 1688 from Australia

Are you based in Australia and want to source products at factory prices? 1688.com is the leading B2B platform in China, but it is blocked for Australian buyers (requires a Chinese phone number and Alipay). SinoYak is your ideal solution to access 1688 from Australia.

Australian Customs and Taxes (GST)

Importing goods into Australia is subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%. For low-value goods (under AUD $1,000), GST is usually collected by the seller at checkout. For imports over AUD $1,000, you must declare the goods to the Australian Border Force (ABF) and pay the GST and any applicable duties. SinoYak helps you declare the correct value to facilitate customs clearance.
