Default What I learned

Done my shopping,

Saved a bundle (enough to paint my car for free).....

Remember.......

Buy American made.......get someone to mark the boxes
"Made in the USA" The free trade agreement = $0-00 import duty.
Under $1,000-00 = no GST in OZ.

If its not American made - get the packers to stamp/write "RACE CAR PARTS ONLY" on the boxes.
Racing car parts only attract 5% import duty, whereas ordinary car parts are 10%. (plus GST).

Check your prices CAREFULLY....

It's a bit of mucking around but I have found that I could get some things freighted to Darwin from the USA, quicker than I could get them from interstate, and saved money. I just don't understand............
