Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by Australian Border Force (ABF); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Australia with gps units is a separate question: allowed — Consumer GPS units may be exported from Australia freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice

Standard personal-effects allowance applies for GPS Units in Australia. Keep the device in cabin baggage per IATA lithium-battery rules; carry the original purchase receipt if the value is over the destination's de minimis (USD 680). Repair-and-return status is unrestricted; commercial-quantity carriage requires a separate commercial import declaration.
