Freight per kilo, the service fee, the tax threshold and the restrictions — with the numbers we quote today, not a range that turns into something else at checkout.
Air express, door to door. Freight is billed on the greater of actual and volumetric weight; the service fee is banded and shown separately.
| Packed weight | Air freight | Service fee* | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 kg | US$5.14 | US$7.00 | 8–12 days |
| 1 kg | US$10.29 | US$7.00 | 8–12 days |
| 2 kg | US$20.57 | US$7.00 | 8–12 days |
| 5 kg | US$51.43 | US$9.50 | 8–12 days |
| 10 kg | US$102.85 | US$27.00 | 8–12 days |
*For a parcel whose goods are worth about US$20 per kilo — the fee bands mean the percentage depends on what is inside, not on the weight. Your written quote shows both lines exactly.
Two items worth US$120, packed at 2 kg: goods US$120 · service fee US$17.50 · currency conversion 1.5% US$1.80 · domestic delivery US$3 · inbound handling US$1.50 · card 4.5% US$6.44 = US$150.24 before freight. Air freight at 10.29/kg ≈ US$20.57. Landed ≈ US$$170.81 before duty.
A$1,000 threshold for consumers; below it duty and GST are generally waived. Biosecurity inspection applies to wood, seeds, leather and food.
We declare the real value every time. Under-declaring is fraud in every market we serve and a seized parcel costs more than the tax saved.

seeds, plants, food, untreated wood, leather without declaration. This is not a marketing list: it is what gets parcels held, and we would rather refuse an order than lose a shipment.
How much does it cost to ship from China to Australia? Air express runs about US$10.29 per kilo on our current rate card, so a 2 kg parcel is roughly US$20.57 in freight. Add the service fee — US$7 flat up to US$50 of goods, then 15% / 10% / 6% on the bands. Sea consolidation is about a third of the air price above 20 kg.
What tax do I pay in Australia? A$1,000 threshold for consumers; below it duty and GST are generally waived. Biosecurity inspection applies to wood, seeds, leather and food. We show the estimate in the written quote and never manipulate the declared value.
What can't you send to Australia? The usual refusals: seeds, plants, food, untreated wood, leather without declaration. If your item is on that list we say so before you buy rather than after the parcel is held.
How long does it take door to door? Seller dispatch is 1–3 days on Taobao, our checking takes one working day, then air transit to AU runs 8–12 days.
Can I combine several sellers? Yes — consolidation into one shipment pays one freight minimum instead of several, and outer cartons come off to reduce volumetric weight.
