A Self Assessed Clearance (SAC) declaration is an electronic declaration that Customs requires for clearing your goods. These goods have to have a customs value of AUD$1,000 or less and have arrived as either air freight or sea freight.

SAC declarations must be lodged electronically to Customs by a registered SAC communicator such as the SACMAN. There is no documentary or paper version available for an importer to submit to Customs.

Each SAC declaration requires the following information:

  • The identity of the importer
  • Details of how the goods arrived into Australia
  • A description of the goods

Importers wanting to lodge a SAC declaration are required to declare:

  • That the value of the goods does not exceed the AUD$1,000 threshold
  • Information to help determine if the goods require further assessment by Customs or  Quarantine.
  • If they want to refer the goods to either Customs or Quarantine.
