Travel out of Australia with 3 Android tablets

I am not an Australian citizen, but I am visiting Brisbane and plan to fly back to my country with 3 Android Tablets for three of my children. Total cost of items approximately $300

Will I be required to pay a duty tax on these items at the point of departure - Brisbane International Airport?

Or will I have to pay duty tax upon arrival in my home country?

I would appreciate feedback from travellers who've had to negotiate similar experiences.

Best Answer

There is no export duty. The Australian government will be happy you're spending your money in Australia, and as mentioned, you can even get the VAT tax back, if you care to learn the process and fill the right forms.

Duties are due when entering a country, not when leaving. When you arrive at your destination (where the bought tablets will stay), you might have to pay customs duty; this depends of course on your country (which you didn't specify).

Typical European countries and the US have limits around 400 - 1000 $, but your country might be different.

Yes you can. To use mobile broadband using a dongle or to use a tablet when you're roaming abroad, you'll need to buy a roaming broadband data add-on.

Most tablets can connect to a WiFi for Internet service so having a carrier service plan is not a requirement.

Why do Android tablets fail?

And that brings me to one of the biggest reasons why Android tablets failed. They started off running a smartphone operating system with apps that weren't optimized for a tablet's larger display. In fact, many of these early Android tablets didn't even have access to Google Marketplace to download third party apps.
