🇦🇺 Australia Shipping Guide – Heiwa Slipper

GST 10% • DHL handling fees • How Etsy can help for small orders

💡 Quick tip for Australia:

GST (10%) applies to imports. When you buy on our website, DHL may advance GST and charge a handling fee (about AUD 15–25) on delivery. If you buy via Etsy, GST is usually collected at checkout, so no DHL disbursement fee. For one pair, Etsy can sometimes be cheaper; for 2+ pairs, our store is often better (free shipping & discounts).

🛍 Buy on Etsy (GST at checkout) 🛒 Shop on our store

Note: Etsy prices can be slightly higher due to platform fees.

🚚 Shipping basics

  • Carrier: DHL Express
  • Flat rate: $18 USD per order
  • Free shipping: orders over $85 USD
  • Dispatch: daily (except Wed, Sun & Japanese national holidays)

📍 Remote Area: a DHL surcharge may apply. 📦 DHL does not deliver to P.O. boxes. 🌱 CO₂ offset supported for all parcels.

💶 Taxes & duties (Australia)

  • GST (10%): applies on import.
  • DHL handling fee: if DHL advances GST, they add a disbursement/handling fee (about AUD 15–25).
  • Duties: for items Made in Japan, CPTPP generally results in 0% duty when origin is declared.

🧾 Etsy collects GST at checkout for Australia, so DHL usually doesn’t charge a disbursement fee on delivery.
