" Hey fellow Aussies, will we get thumped with import duties and GST on our orders and if so, do you know who we pay?>

I spoke to DHL and they aren't sure whether customs will auto clear or not - although I spoke to customs a few weeks ago and they said that if excise(which there is none on software) and GST come to under $50 they don't bother collecting - but they also added that the carrier may collect....

So let's hope Customs clears them OK - a quick calculation back then showed we were under the $50 limit, so cross fingers...

First one to find out - let us all know.

PS. Mine was undergoing clearance at 10.13 last night.
