This is incorrect Marc. Amazon US will not ship to an Australian address. In fact, they'll just auto redirect any Australian based IP address to the Amazon Australia website. Amazon Australia will calculate and add GST.
My issues are that I should have the legal right to continue to buy from Amazon US and ship any said item that I've ordered to my US proxy shipping address. Of course, my US proxy shipping addresses uses DHL for shipping, and DHL has a shipping basis in Australia, so will have to enforce GST. That means customs will hold any incoming goods, no matter where they come from, until GST is paid.
