[Prickly]

I notice the starshoot cooled 1/2 mono ccds are now selling for US300. Cant see what the local prices are from the website other than sirius optics.

I was thinking that if I were planning on importing this should come in under the A$1000 import limit before attracting tax. Im guess it might be possible to import it at around 500 all up.

Has anyone had experience with importing goods? Who would be a good US company to deal with? Apart from exchange, insurance and freight are there other additoinal costs to factor in or other pitfalls with customs (I live in Canberra).

I do generally prefer to deal locally by the way but $300 or so extra is a lot.

Thanks,
David
