What is the new Australian GST law?


How does the new Australian GST affect my seller account?

Starting from July 1, 2018, Amazon will no longer enable third-party sellers on any Amazon marketplace website other than to sell or deliver their products to an Australian address. This applies to both seller-fulfilled and Amazon-fulfilled items.

How do I sign up for a new selling account on

You can sign up for an Australian selling account by visiting and clicking Register Now to create your new account. For this new account, you will need to use a different email address from the one that you use for your primary account. You will also need the same information that you provided when creating your first account: name, address and credit card information.


What happens if I make a sale on and dispatch the item from outside Australia?

If you sell a product with a customs value of $1,000 Australian Dollars (AUD) or less and dispatch this product from outside Australia to an Australian address, Amazon will automatically calculate, collect and remit a 10% GST.

What happens to my orders that are dispatched before July 1, 2018, but will arrive to an Australian address after this date?

The export-eligible date will be determined by when the customer places an order rather than the date of dispatch or arrival. For example, if a customer places an order before July 1, 2018, and the package is not delivered or dispatched until after July 1, 2018, the new Australian GST law will not apply.
