You'll probably get hit with customs anyway and probably GST, I can't see
any indication that GST is included in these prices (which probably explains
the apparent discrepancies in set prices b/t different currencies).
GST is 10% of (order value + postage & insurance + customs duty)
(for Lego, there are additional taxes that come into play for other imports)
I'm not sure what the customs duty is worth, I can't actually seem to find
that info on the customs website.
Note that an order over $1000 total import value (that includes all of the
above) through the postal system also needs customs clearance. The $200
limit under which they don't bother with GST and customs applies to
unsolicited gifts, which an order from a commercial entity isn't!
I've emailed SAH Europe to ask about the GST included or not, will also ask
on lego.direct
