millars Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 No idea about percentages but they charge import tax on items less than 12 months old. You could unwrap the washer & pretend you've had it for more than a year?! I think they are fussy about fridges & would want to inspect. Your shipping company should be able to advise you better. Bear in mind you get a rebate from the Aussie Govt if you buy a water efficient washer here - thats if its still available, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are only taking one of everything new I would doubt that anyone would check to see how 'new' the item is. Now if you had 12 Miele hoovers (double the price in Oz) you might not get away with that.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
