20foot container (33 cubic meter) approx $4000 into Brisbane. Then the fun begins, additional fumigation if required, sales tax (depends on items eg handicraft and most timber products 5%, clothing 17%, stone 5%), after this has been added then the gst is calculated....then you have custom broker charges, unloading and transportation of container +++++,.....plus you need the money to fill the container to start with lol......best bet would be to contact a custom broker/frieght company for full layout of all charges...........at this stage i just use an agent who charges a flat rate per cubic meter, this includes all costs except for taxes and delivery to final destination
