| | | | | This is all very worrying, and does not bode well for S@H in Australia. (...) Interesting. If you believe Custom's own WWW site, even if the price had been US$198, you should have been granted the "low value" concession as the GST should have been (...)

The person with whom I spoke told me that prior to GST, there would be sales tax payable on imported Lego but it was (...) (23 years ago, 8-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | | | Hi All, I had a similar experience with the lego shop at home from an order placed on thursday. My order was 295 +90 shipping. The people at UNited Postal service have also asked me for $90. Apparently we pay 50 for the customs people? for opening (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct)

I had thought it would work similarly in return. Though maybe they classify these as coming from (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct)
