Yeah ... see what you mean...but anything up to and including 1K will now attract another 10% if imported .... well that's how I understand it.

if you buy an item for say ...$500.00 from o/seas, you will have to pay another $50.00 to have the privilege of having it.

under the ' old ' scheme ( which still exits ) we wouldn't have to pay any GST at all

I'VE ALSO HEARD A RUMOR THAT THE COST OF THE ITEM PLUS THE POSTAGE IS ADDED TOGETHER AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL CHARGE THE GST ON.....
