While we're on the subject, any Australian Red owners give me a heads up on shipping/tax? I'm sure there's GST we'll need to pay, any other import taxes?

Hi Josef, (And any other Aussies interested)

Yes we have to pay GST 10% on anything imported that is valued at over $1000.
Also shipping costs of course, and also Import Duty.
For items deemed available in Australia Import Duty can be as high a 15% for items/industries that are protected. But most items generally attract about a 5% duty fee.
I am expecting 5%

* Note: GST is calculated including transport and insurance/shipping costs + Duty.

So... say we ended up with a 10K Scarlet...
with 5% duty + $150 shipping x 10% GST - it would = $11,715.

At the moment though the exchange rates wold pretty much balance the duty costs out -
So take $500 off for our AUSD...
And a 10K USD Scarlet would cost us $11,215. Give or take.

Hope that's of help.

Best
Lliam
