Don't forget to add import duty and GST on the landed total cost.

Just do the dodgy and get the guy to include a reciept for under 1000aud. Or get them to market it as a warrenty return. This was one thing i was really scared of, all the vendors or shops i talked to in australia emphasied that i would be hit, and hit hard.

In the end, i payed $90 to clear everything out of customs. I had a friend who was a customs broker at the time, he found me a code that stated 'turbos' are duty free and all i needed was to pay GST. With that code, even though i found out later it shouldnt of exempted me, worked without a flaw. The guy at customs looked at the box, it said 'turbo' and used the greddy instructions to itemise everything and verify they were all part of the 'turbo kit'. He looked up his book and said 'good enough'. Passes it through.... Oh and some people dont even get stopped. Luck of the draw.

That said, even if u get hit at customs, it works out alot cheaper then purchasing locally. Since vendors hear 99% of the time dont keep stock, you will have to wait for them to import it, clear it (as legally as the shop wants to do) and then ship it out too u... My advice is to cut out the middle man
