Our company sells equipment parts to local companies. Our supplier is in overseas. Can our local customers directly import the goods from our overseas supplier themselves after we have sold them the products?

Question

Accepted Answer

Imported goods are subject to GST and/or duty payment. A customs permit is required to account for the import and tax payment of the goods.

The new buyer should be the party declaring the payment permit. The value of the goods would be the last selling price (LSP), which is the transaction value from the sale between the new buyer and their supplier.
