Hi, Good day!

I will be receiving a parcel from Australia, and it will be delivered through DHL.
may I know how I can receive the parcel and what would be the possible requirements and cost needed to prepare. 
I will be receiving 1 parcel with 1 mobile phone inside. I already asked NTC for the Permit and hope I can hear from your end too since it discusses about importing products from abroad.

Thank you and God Bless
