Import Tax Question

[Louwai (Bryan)]

Glad it all worked out OK Doug.

Just for your future reference,
If ever you need to send stuff to HK again & you are concerned about the process at the other end.
I have a very good mate (Australian) who lives in a Chinese city called Zhuhai, which is only 1hr by ferry from HK. (it's right next to Macau)

I can always put you in touch with him directly so that your gear can be sent to him & he can make sure it is hand delivered to the repairer / modifier.
He's in HK about 4 to 5 times a mth.

But it sounds like you have it all sussed.

Alternatively, if you ever want to buy something from HK, & you are not 100% sure about the seller, the item, quality etc, I can ask him to go & look at it for you BEFORE you pay the money.

No hassles with customs. For its return journey it was insured for the replacement value in Hong Kong by the dealer who performed the mod - $7380HK, which worked out at approx $980AU. So it slipped under the radar. Glad I didn't have to go through the hassle of proving that it was purchased in Oz etc etc.
Cheers again all for the advice.
