  1. All goods imported into Australia must be reported to the Customs department. The steps required to meet these legal requirements usually depend on the type of goods you have. ACC customs broker in Fremantle's standard importing transaction usually requires a commercial invoice, quarantine packing declaration, packing list, and bill of Lading. Until imported or exported goods get customs clearance they are stored in a Customs Station.
