Answer 1

The legal limit for each traveller coming into Australia is 250 gr or 250 cigarettes. But as it is coming from a know drug importation route ( Asia) I would suspect that customs is having a closer inspection of ANY unaccompanied parcel from these know areas.

As previously suggested  a phone call to customs : 1300 363 263

Answer 2

Ring Customs in Sydney and you'll be able to pay the tax owing on the smokes and anything else and then if there is no other problem they will want you to pay to have it sent to Darwin

Answer 3

It's no good asking us contact Australian customs and ask them. They are usually very good to deal with.

It's not just the tax either tobacco is a plant material and is subject to quarantine

Answer 4

um, i don't understand exactly what you are asking here. But let me take a jab at it. You would be better off calling customs for your area, no one on here is likely to be a customs agent looking to solve issues like that.  

Answer 5

ring customs in sydney and ask them!

Answer 6

Bummer!
