About:China Customs Declaration
Will I have to pay duty on the engagement ring I bring in for my Chinese fiancée?
I have bought it in Australia and paid Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST, equivalent to VAT) on it (i.e., not claimed a GST refund) in the expectation that she will bring it back into Australia within 12 months. It would be really nice and fair if I can pay tax in only one jurisdiction. :)
