Question about GST, Import Duties, and UPS Fees
Hi,
Thinking of ordering a refractor from Teleskop-service in Germany. Total value of the purchase would be about $1170 AUD (the scope an flattener cost about $970 AUD, but shipping costs about $200 AUD). From my understanding, GST applies to all overseas imports now, and it includes shipping, so I should expect to pay about $117 GST, right?
Additionally, I heard there is an electronic entry fee of $50. But what I’m not sure about is whether UPS will charge any broker fees, or any other surcharges and such. So, does anyone here have experience importing a scope with UPS? How much was your scope valued at, and how much did you have to pay in total? UPS is the only courier available for this order, so I can’t use anything else.
Thanks in advance,
Danh.
