Customs and documents for parcels from the Netherlands to Australia
Documents
Parcels from the Netherlands to Australia need accurate customs information. List each item, quantity, value, country of origin and reason for export. A commercial or pro forma invoice and extra documents may be required for particular goods or carriers. Australia has strict biosecurity controls for food, plants, animal products and untreated wood.
Duties and limits
Australian import duties, taxes and clearance fees depend on the goods, declared value, origin and current rules. The recipient may need to provide details or pay charges before delivery. Check the requirements shown by the selected service when booking.
Destination requirements
Give the recipient’s full name, full address, suburb, state or territory abbreviation, four-digit postcode and reachable phone number. Confirm current carrier restrictions and destination requirements at booking.
Sending a parcel to Australia: addresses and local rules
The suburb, the state abbreviation (NSW, VIC, QLD) and the four-digit postcode share the last line before the country. The suburb is not the city: it is what the sorting works on, and leaving it out delays the parcel.
Australia screens incoming mail for biosecurity risks. Check import conditions and declare contents accurately. Non-compliant goods may require treatment, return or destruction.

Packing and what you can send
How to pack your parcel
Use a strong, undamaged cardboard box suitable for the parcel’s weight. Wrap individual items, fill empty spaces and seal every edge with parcel tape. Remove old labels and place the new shipping label on a flat, visible surface. Measure and weigh the packed parcel before requesting a quote, and follow the packing guide for step-by-step instructions.
- 1
Take a strong box
Cardboard without tears or old tape, sized to the contents.
- 2
Wrap and fill
Wrap each item separately and fill the empty space, so nothing moves.
- 3
Seal every edge
Tape all seams. Remove old labels — they confuse the sorting line.
- 4
Measure and weigh
The carrier checks both, and the price follows their figures.
