...and there are inconsistencies.
Recently I received a lunar/planetary camera, valued $1,000+ this attracted gst. About two months ago, I received a telephoto lens, again $1,000 + from the U.S. but no gst added. Same for the Blad I received last year from Germany. What I have noticed is this, if the parcel is labelled as having the value largely in excess of $1,000 and it is delievered by FedEx or similar, then 'it seems' that Customs takes notice. If delivered by the equivalent Postal service, then....?
I just don't want to know about the delivery of the APQ 130 early in the new year!!
