Yes, GST applies to importing LEGO, but of course, the old sales tax 28% no
longer applies. So, theoretically, it should be cheaper to import it now.
However, in practice, most Lego imports haven't been charged sales tax in
the past (for a variety of reasons discussed at length previously), so I
assume this will probably continue to be the case.
