<< I was thinking of ordering some parts from the UK and have just been
informed by Australian Customs that on any parts for motor vehicles produced
after 1963 Sales Tax and Import Duty of 46% must be paid on the invoice
value. >>
Find someone in the originating country to assist you. Have that someone
purchase the parts locally, repackage them and ship them to you with fresh
paperwork. The papers should designate the contents as used auto parts with
a miminal value, or as a gift with little or no value. Send payment under
separate cover.
