This should not effect Australian prices that importers like TASCO pay ex-factory, and should not affect inbound GSO pricing to to Australian buyers. Sure if you buy something from a US retailer, it will cascade to you if US wholesalers and distributors pass it on.
Chinese factories can use non-US distribution channels to maintain market share. I believe Skywatcher US would be impacted as would Celestron in the US, and brands which are exclusive or primarily US names like Explore Scientific. Camera makers like ZWO should not be affected for Australian customers.
Let's see how it plays out. The impact of the buying power of the falling AUD might be more significant.
