    Default Fortress Maximus

    i have finally purchased a complete fort max. My question to the more experienced members is: with Australia when buying 2nd hand toys from overseas what customs, duties or taxes apply once the toy value or cost is declared ?

    further info its comming from the states

    kind regards

    From my understanding, as long as it is sub-$1k AUD, you should be fine.

    I think the custom declaration on the package declares the value of the item, not inclusive of postage, so you should be fine.

    However, if you're in doubt, you can perhaps request the seller to lower the amount declared slightly (somewhat illegal) to include the postage and remain under $1k

    It's done as the value of the item rather than postage included but it's completely determined by the customs dec. U could put it down as $5 but ur boned if it goes missing. I'd stick with $875 or maybe $700usd?
