Over here it's all down to customs and import taxes, I'm not certain how it works in Oz anymore but if you know somebody in the US and they can send it as a gift not goods and services then you don't have to pay any tax on it at all. Unfortunately I don't know anybody in the US.

That said I had to give the postie 50 euro the other day to pay for presents for the kids that she sent from Adelaide, presumably because the parcel contained chicken salt.
In retrospect i should of questioned that.
