Hello, I'm currently looking for some advice.

My dad is importing 1.1k 20kg rice bags, we live in Melbourne. It's our first time importing anything and we're wondering about the legal side of things, how will it go down, we have just talked to a "broker" and he told us that we would not be allowed to get the container to be delivered to our private residence.

If anyone knows anything about importing and could answer some simple questions it would be very helpful :)

The one question we have is how can we get the container delivered to our residence, is there any legal side to it? Was the broker correct? We have the space in our home to store the rice and will pay tax when it arrives, we want to sell it from our home as we do not own a shop.
