Are you serious!
Man. I paid out 10% when mine came in. Needless to say it get it back after my GST tax claim goes through.
But still good to know.
So you have done this, Red obliged? please tell me more. Who do I need to speak too, I have another 3 coming in and would really like more info on this.

Thanks Pawel.

You probably paid 10% GST, not duty. You get GST input credit. But, you do not need to pay any duty if it is made in US due to FTA with Australia.
 
Pawel, do you remember the name of that form to declare that the goods are made in the US? Just making sure my check list is all sorted to get things as smooth as possible.
 
Free Trade Agreement For Import To Australia

Free Trade Agreement For Import To Australia

G'day all. Was wondering if anyone has encountered any problems importing a RED and the FTA, as the document download listed above is pretty specific about the product being produced wholly in the USA.

From my memory of reading these threads, and seeing photos of the underside of the camera, I recall the label states its actually made in Singapore. Seems like a grey area to me and the duty issue actually may come down to the customs officer who is on duty when your RED comes through. Might be wrong .. just thinking out loud.

It's built in Singapore but for customs purposes it is a product of the USA.
 
My RED import experience

My RED import experience

I had my RED delivered about 4 weeks ago now.
My whole kit total was USD $42540 or there abouts. I paid about AUD $4812 in GST
I also paid about AUD$375 in duty, the reason being that not all the RED aluminum parts are manufactured in the US as i found out, most are made in SE Asia which automatically incurs 5% duty here in Australia.
So depending on how many of REDs extra bits and pieces you order, will depend on how much duty you pay.
There was no duty on the Camera body and LCD etc...

cheers
Paul

are you sure?? seems as though you may have got ripped , just referring back to what Cail said earlier that its still a US product for custom purpose Including the kit !....im going to have to look into this one , id rather fly over and get it if it works out to be cheaper in that case
 
Khristian,
nope......didn't get ripped.......
The shipping list/commercial invoice that RED sends with the boxes, itemizes every single piece, and its country of manufacture.
yes i know about the FTA with the US, but if the item is not manufactured in the US then sadly its up for duty......
Whats $300 anyway, when your spending $40K......

Thanks Paul for confirming Pawel's experience. Enjoy 1201 and post some pics ASAP- the light of these autumn days is awesome.
 
Paul, did they list what items specifically had duty on them? I didn't get any duty charged on my order consisting of the Camera, base production pack, LCD, power pack, Red Drive, CF Cards, and Pelican Case (still waiting on my 18-50).

Well... okay I lied, I did get charged around $4 duty on... a Red T-Shirt!
