Courier Imports and Exports (Clearance) Amendment Regulations, 2026 - 34/2026 - Customs - Non Tariff

Courier clearance rules revised for uncleared imports, including detention, disposal, re-export requests, and removal of a value limit.

The courier clearance framework is amended to revise the handling of uncleared imported goods and remove a value-based restriction. Goods not cleared after thirty days may be detained and sold or otherwise disposed of after notice, with storage and holding charges payable by the authorised courier. The authorised courier may also seek re-export or return of uncleared goods after fifteen days, subject to restrictions on prohibited or restricted goods and the absence of enforcement proceedings.
