Ship parcels from Australia to the United States with Ebaoguo’s Melbourne warehouse. Policy update: Effective Feb 24, 2026, the US imposes a 10% global import surcharge that supersedes the prior USD$800 de-minimis exemption.

Ideal for sending personal goods, Australian products, or gifts to the US.
