A Batemans Bay Police spokesman said officers treated the item as "suspicious" and followed protocols.
The carpark at the corner of Commercial Lane and Camp Street was sealed off, traffic diverted and shops near Service NSW evacuated.
The spokesman said review of CCTV footage and investigation identified the owner and found there was nothing in the box.
The situation was resolved about 1.50pm, the item removed and staff returned to the building.
