Customs duty in Aus now only applies to items worth over $1000. In the past I think it was $400 so it was easier for them to "round up".
You won't have to pay on the Aussie end for a pair of riding pants
Not true according to the Customs Service - (Third & fourth paragraph)Quote:

looks likt the UPS or fedex etc could still charge you a processing fee , best you check with the courier before stuff gets sent r you could end up with a Fee from the courier
Also when using a courier factor in the entry gate fee WTF?? of $50, I have also had a remote area fee of $50 , mostly i think they make them up :(
If customs agents are needed there's another hand in your pocket....
Lately if i cant get something sent by mail i will find a company that has the same product that will, even happy to pay for someone to go to the post office rather than pay the thieving bastard couriers that give you a price at the US end then hit you again here ..:(
shop around a bit more.
