the reseller shipped my bags from london to Sydney within 3 days no gst nothing via FedEx
So I don't know if I should do that...
I have a feeling 100%i will be checked
If via fedex you will have to declare lower value and ensure you include the invoices at that declared value otherwise they will open the package if you dont have the right doc's attached.the reseller shipped my bags from london to Sydney within 3 days no gst nothing via FedEx

Dear, you becareful, if you bring it back and not declared on the incoming card, not only you pay GST back, they also fine you too. And you have to pay it on the spot to get your good back, the total amount usually more than double the Gst that you claimed.
Yes, they work whenever the flight is landed, you either ship it in, get yr partner to bring it in for you, or declare and pay GST back. If not you will risk fine or may be lucky if they did not mark your passport then you through.
Good luck.
I won't take anything more than 900$ back
Need to figure out a way to secure my goods without getting into trouble
Thank you dear
I don't know if they have mark my passport
I have no way to find out
I have done the gst refund many many times
Normally I will do the QR code and no problem at the gst refund
But this time I forgot to do it
I handed over all the receipts to the officer then she started telling me If I know the consequence also ask my return date which is odd
Its not too difficult. Just make an invoice using word doc. i do them for when my relative ships things to me from Italy. I make a gift invoice with lower value. Put the sender details (my relative name and address) and my reciever details (name and address)
The item as brief as possible e.g. leather handbag.
then add a message at the bottom like " happy birthday" etc
Wow thank you!
I will make one to ship my bags if I couldn't come up with a plan b
I really think it's very random with TRS. If you're really unlucky, the officer will say it in a way that will scare you and it looks like they will flag and check you when you're back in the country. But I also wonder how can they actually prove that the goods you're bringing back are what you claimed? What if you legit have the same bag and you're just buying the same bag for your family member? How can you prove that they are the same one even if they had marked down the details?
It's arbitrary but worth being cautious and careful. If you had declared on ur way in, do you actually just pay back the gst you paid? Or they might reduce/ waive it like in the US if you are honest?

My sister told me
A friend of her bought a ring for the wife and took it out of the country for the gst
They didn't even mention anything on the gst counter
On his way in they search every single piece of the baggage,found the ring and he paid for the gst and fine a got and big fat warning
Told him if he do it again they will report to the immigration office and cancel his visa
I wrote *consequently" - we assumed mom's passport has been marked as otherwise how would they identify who n which?
As such, mom was checked when she returned to Aussie.
HTH
Please be careful with this - there have been thread on EBay forum of sender declaring lower value and custom interfered as they think the items are counterfeits.
Its ok usually its low value items that just slightly went above 1k . Its too hard to get a K B or C in Italy.
