Hi Mark,
Yes, UPS does the clearing. I have a CC number in the system as I have purchased goods in the past from O/S which were valued over $1000. I think customs has had to streamline its operation owing to the large volume of goods arriving in the country these days.
As a matter of interest, I notice WO are selling their FLT 152mm APO with free shipping for just over $8000 USD and it would land here around $10,000 AUD with GST and duties paid. This makes it about $4000 cheaper than our local suppliers!
Cheers,
Steve
