I hear that you dont need to pay 5% duty on stuff that comes from America as long as it was made over there???Is that correct??All due to the free trade...
I bought two machines recently from Barry and you just need to be very thorough and persistent with your questions about the machines. Some areas are over stated in their condition but overall they weren't too bad. I bought Hulk and Dredd off him.
Paul you are correct in that there is no 5% duty under the FTA, however there are still port fees this end and GST if the value/receipt is over $1000. The shipping price varies depending on the actual machine I think, if he has enough markup on the machine the shipping price drops and vice versa. Machiens are packed very well and arrived safe and sound. For my two machine, the actual shipping fee (not incl fees this end) was around the $400AUD mark. All up it cost me around $1000-1100 in total to bring the two machines in. Barry's shipping fee for the second machine drops considerably.
