For goods I enter Golf Clubs just to get the calculation done.
For the value a NF will be you will need a Client Code (easy to do on line) and as well as gst you will pay Entry Fees of $49.24 (Bio etc)
A lot of the USA sellers will no longer sell to "aliens", part of NF trying to protect their overseas distributors.
There was a recent thread on here about a problem with a NF scope and the being returned to the seller Queensland I believe.
Sounded like a better option to get a scope from Oz than USA nowadays.
Be very careful getting values downsized, assuming you find a seller willing. If your item goes missing, and some do, you will only recover the value declared by the seller at the time of shipping. Some sellers will not include the value of shipping on the invoice and this can be a small win plus if the scope goes missing the overall value is still up there for insurance recovery..
