Duh. That's the point.

If you have a business with ABN in Australia, you have to pay Customs Entry and GST..a very real cost that the retailer has to pay to have stuff on the shelf .(The ATO gets testy if you don't)

Yet foreign operators, in many cases, pay zip.

Not so much a local rip-off....just really crappy local tax laws.
