Duty
Cameron 77C3:
Well if there below $1000 it does not matter but if over $1000 the onus is on YOU to prove that they are made in the united states. We were only talking about the new free trade agreement with the united states as that is were we buy our parts. I know nothing about what happens in China.
The onus is NOW on you to prove parts are made in America. If you can not prove it you pay duty on goods over $1000. If found guilty of false statements there are now quite heavy fines that can be enforced.
Do you get some parts direct from China? May be you could find out and post for us how that works. Do we have free trade agreements with them etc.

sorry cam did not explain myself properly....parts that I import from the states (for instance exhaust tips) but the are manfufactured in china...i was referring to that point
Cameron 77C3:
Sorry Got ya. YOU now have to prove that they came from the states and manufactored in the states. Not China or mexico. This only applies to complete orders over $1000 AUD not including freight. They don't need to inspect as now they have put it back on you.
If you can not prove it................pay up! Again if complete order is under a $1000 AUD no problems
Cameron 77C3:
That's it for me. I'm hitting the sack.
