.....12 years, i have been limiting my order to US $400 or $420 including post. there were instances that i had to pay A$50-A$55 tax only because it went over the cut-off of A$50 and over. On those particular days, the US dollars was stronger against the oz dollars so my calculation was off.
...it was mentioned earlier that if the total Taxable figure due is less than a$50, its more than likely to be waived. this does not guarantee that no tax will be collected. i have paid tax twice under the A$50 mark.to calculate the import tax , its best to go to the site.

i received 3 parcels this week from 3 different countries using 3 different postal service. all amounts are close to US$400. NO TAX WAS DUE.



ONE OF THE PARCEL IS FROM RCMODEL....NO PROBLEM THERE (MY 16TH ORDER FROM THIS SELLER)...
