We're fortunate here in Oz (at the moment) as we don't pay extra on imported items under $1000.00 (except alcohol & tobacco products). However the Australian retailers are lobbying the government to take the level to zero. We have a 10% GST(goods & services tax) for products puchased in Australia, but it doesn't apply to goods brought in. Hence the retailers do not have a level playing field.


Cheers,
