Thanks, Harry. On photography lists I'm on, VAT often comes up and I've never really clarified with myself where it's applicable even within your neck of the woods (to be honest, I just though it was a UK thing - shows I should pay more attention).

Note that you will be liable to pay whatever local taxes and import duties apply when it reaches Australia.

Do NOT take the following as gospel (check the
Australian Customs Service website) but I believe they will not charge you any GST if the customs declaration shows the cost of the goods as less than AUS$1000. Ahh, buggerit, I'll go have a look at the Customs site myself...
Okay, it says here:
http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=5549
in the section "When buying over the internet" that...
"All goods (except for tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if their value is $1,000 or less.:
There's obviously some conditional stuff there which you can check the link for, but it looks applicable here.
