How many cameras can I take back to Australia with me without incurring duty?

Question

Hi

I've been living in South Korea for the last 2.5 years and during that time, I have acquired/accumulated six cameras and assorted lenses. One camera is digital (Nikon D200) which I purchased more than one year ago. The other 5 are older nikon film cameras (like about 20 years or more. Eg, F3, F3HP, FE, FM2 x 2. I'm going back to Australia soon and must take them with me. Can anyone tell me what (if any) is the limit to the number of cameras I can take back to Australia without having to pay duty on them? This is all used camera equipment and my personal collection. Many thanks in advance for your info/input. Cheers

My boyfriend works for the airlines so he knows alot about travel- he said you'll be fine, no worries. But just to be sure I would contact the customs in Aulstralia at the airport just incase there are some hidden duty charges.  Call the Operator of the airport and she/he will direct you!

There's no limit on the number you bring in as long as they haven't been bought recently duty free.  Bring the sales receipts with you to present at quarantine if asked for proof.
