From this date, you may bring any of the following goods - duty and/or tax free - in your accompanied baggage.

1. General

Alcohol and tobacco products cannot be included in this allowance.
These goods can be:

obtained overseas
purchased in Australia duty or tax free before departure
goods for which a tax refund has been approved through the Tourist Refund Scheme; or
purchased from an inwards duty free shop on arrival.
2. Alcohol

2.25 litres of alcoholic beverages for each passenger aged 18 years or over.

3. Tobacco

250 cigarettes, or 250 grams of cigars or tobacco products for each passenger aged 18 years or over.

You can pool your duty free concessions if you are a family travelling together.

Most personal items such as new clothing, footwear, and articles for personal hygiene and grooming (but not fur or perfume concentrates) may also be brought into Australia in accompanied baggage free from duty and/or tax.

NOTE HOWEVER: if you exceed any of the concession limits set out above, Customs will charge you duty and tax on the entire importation or purchase within that group of items.
