Duty

(1/3) > >>

Cameron 77C3:
Hi guys.  I read in the club mag. that import duty will no longer be charged on new parts shipped in from the USA.  When did this happen?  Can any body shed some more light on this for me?  I've got some parts coming in from Ecklers and  in view of this change in import, I might have a few more dollars to play with. ;40

Scrole down for update on my post.  Cameron 77C3 11/03/05

I have not heard that, I have heard the Import amount was changed to $500 AUD from $250 before paying duty.

they did say most dutys would terminate after time, check with customs as if the parts are made in the US
they should be duty Free

Hope this helps

Panther:
Not a chance, duty will never disapear, and you pay duty from $100, if the duty to collect is less than $50 than it is often not worth the paper work, but that depends on the person, checking the shipment on the day, new parts remain at 15% plus freight and good old GST on the whole amount, while ever the goverment makes money out of us suckers who own US built cars we will pay
Sorry to blow this subject to bits, well not really, its just the way it is

Yes Panther is right.I have imported a lot of parts lately. Parts for 30 years & older are still 3% duty, engine parts 10% duty, then GST on top!!.YES we still get ripped off big time , with no reason for it!

Cameron 77C3:
So tell me.  What is meant by the bit on page 7 in this months, March, issue of our magazine, General Business, second last sentence where it says and I quote " 'M.F' [our stock Controller] told the club that duty has been removed on any parts imported from the states"

I'm a little confused.  Which is not hard to do for me. :23
