Guys I am making no claims here, I expected say a CGE mount costing Retail USD $3,000 or AUD $4,000 to have a landed cost here around $5,500. I am going to ask an expert in distribution logistics and importing what the best way and minimum cost to legally get the gear here.

His first thought was around $500 which seems way low to me, so I wanted to provide him with all the relevant details then let him explain the best way and costs incurred (freight, insurance, import duties, customs, sales taxes etc). If there are legal means to import and greatly reduce costs legally I am sure we will be all very, very interested in this.

Right now I am trying to find the exact weight, cost and dimensions of the CGE mount, bar and counter weights so I can pass this on to Rod and let him educate me / us as to how to best import an item. If it is only marginally cheaper than buying direct - well that's good to know - find a good distributor / retailer. If the is a means to reall save then know that too!

Anyone actually know the dimensions and weight of the CGE as a test case?
