Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

The government can make rules about fees you pay to Customs. You pay these fees when Customs helps you with things like getting a certificate of clearance for goods. The fees help Customs cover their costs. You also pay fees when Customs does work related to importing or exporting goods. The Minister decides what fees to charge, and they must talk to people and groups before making a decision.

When you pay these fees, it's like paying a duty, and the same rules apply. The Minister has to consult with people and groups they think are relevant before recommending any new fees. You can find more information about how duties are assessed and paid in Subpart 7 of Part 3.
