Was wondering if there were any aussies ou there who'd know what I might expect to pay when importing bits for my bike?

I'm planning on getting a few things (Corbin seat, K+N filter)but aren't sure if it'll be that much cheaper to buy them over the net.

Cheers

Just remember that you pay 5% duty + 10%gst on the total including the duty

eg.. (Item purchased + freight) * 1.05 *1.10 = final price.

Ill see if I can locate the link on the customs website for you..

Thanks lowside,

Can't wait to get back to my bike and put some new bits and pieces on, then, of course, go for a big long ride. :-D :-D

Hey folks.
Isn't there a price limit at which customs don't bother?

Yeah your right.. I think its $200AUD.. I often ask the supplier if he could kindly adjust the invoice cost for the freight paperwork to reduce duty/gst charges.. Most are happy to help..
