PCGS return postage - custom clearance

purplepennyhunter · June 11, 2014, 07:53:10 PM

I would ring them and ask what's happening. They put deadlines on getting info from you after which you get charged fees so you want to get it sorted asap. Whether or not you have to pay gst (which is really what they want) we have always talked our way out of. Provide a copy of the outgoing post receipt and your id.

QuoteThanks mate.. do you have to do anything when you get your packages ?

All I have to do is sign for them then rip them open and show my Mate what I got back that owns the general store where my post office is. :angel:

What's the trick? Have you ever had coins worth over $1000 coming back ?:idea:

Only on a couple of occasions and one of them was dealt with by Eric and I don't think there was a problem there either

Is the PCGS slab an alteration to the item ?

Or.. Code 9705. Only problem is I think pre-decimal may still be legal tender ?

Thanks PPH, I have provided the outgoing Australia post declaration, PCGS invoice in an email when requested... now they want N10 form. I will submit it to tomorrow and see what happens.... it is frustrating, if they want GST then say that... don't kill time... When I call I get the answer" we have emailed you, if you have replied please wait 5 days and we will get back to you.".. This was happening for the last 3 weeks...

I am pretty sure that we don't have to pay a cracker as we haven't bought anything, simply have had it "Repackaged"

Very much so .... :dodgy:

Okay, I had to fill all the paperwork and submit to customs... Then the unthinkable happened.. the second shipment from PCGS turned up today.. that one had a higher declaration value ($1950) ... So I can not understand the double standards... The package has a clear declaration that says "Returning goods "... So it seems the first package is very unlucky !!! Oh well.. s... Happens ..

I can't advise on the correct method of clearing your coins as this depends on the case, but the method I use is as followed:

Fill the N10 form, the declaration for the contents is as followed:
Description of goods: Returning Australian Goods
Tariff Classification: 71181000
Concession: GST Ex 417

Send it along with the outgoing consignment note to postimportsnsw@customs.gov.au with the message that the package contains Australian coins being returned after an appraisal.

They send me a bill for $49 clearance fee, I pay it, I get my coins.

Thank you Walter , I have done that today... Only thing is I didn't put 147 GST ex. Code... It took customs 3 weeks and 5 call to tell me this ... Thanks again for your helpful post..

Sorry to read about the dramas you are having Mate.
It is stressful enough waiting for the coins to arrive in the US, Then the wait at the TPG without having to be Messed about by the Customs Mob.
Did they give you a reason why they held them up and why the extra charges ?

No , not at all mate.. I am not sure what I have to pay if they want me to pay anything ... Just frustrating..
