Hi All

Not sure if anyone is already aware, but the $1000 duty free threshold (where you don't pay any GST or import duty on items costing less than $1000) is due to change at the end of this year. 2015 will see the threshold drop to $200 and 2016 it will be $0.

If you are thinking of getting parts in for a project or anything up-to $1000, it is best done this year if you want to avoid the Duty/ GST (anything from $225 upwards) plus additional cost of actually lodging an import declaration ($50 - $95+).

cheers

I to remember reading that it was going to cost more to implement the tax, than it was going to yield..

So it seems my "emotional" response was right on the money. People who make policy designed dual sport bikes. Fkn good for nothing.

The right thing to do is have a dirtbike for the dirt and a roadbike for the road. How does that translate? We need different rules for different situations, not one rule for all trade. Yes its mor

You work in the misinformation dept.

So.. anyone who buys a sparkplug or one $5 gasket will have to fill out an import declaration.

NOT FKN LIKELEY!

Are you crazy? Whoever told you this is full of shit.

Think it through, obviously you havent. Trade will die, people will get angry because they cant pay the rent anymore.

Tony Abbot would get lynched.

Perhaps "Gift" or "2nd hand" replacement part to get past regulation.

The Department of Missinformation may be correct

Need to hear and see from other sources prior to bagging out.

Current Govt is harsh.

Business wants to stop purchasing off web for all goods where Import duty / GST is NOT paid.

Could be substance to this information.

now, now - don't be judgemental... I will overlook your rudeness as an unmetered emotional response.

Where I work doesn't matter, suffice to say the policy is being written now. This was an initive of the former (labour) Government and one that was already in the works and commited to when the current Government took office.

I don't like it anymore than you do, as I make purchases from O/S, it will impact me as well. You will still be able to import from O/S, however you will just pay more and the revenue collected by the States (not Fed Gov).

if you are not interested, or don't like what I have to say - don't comment.

Sorry, no - gifts and 2nd hand still subject to valuation and GST/ Duty.

I'm not a big poster and don't post for the 'fun' of it. don't like what I say - then ignore it. As for a link, see my post above, policy is being finalised and therefore not yet realised. I heard yesterday arvo.

Remember when all the retailers (especially HN) were ranting about $1000 imports killing business??? This is the result and why they are now quiet! (read - they got what they wanted, which was a reduction in the low value threshold - you can google the history)

This has been a long time coming.

Will wait for the final wording before I judge.

however if it is a blanket policy it will ruin my small business.

As I mentioned above, you can still get things from O/S - it is just going to cost more for the privilege.

ahhh your typical countries...

only thing i can suggest is, if you can find them manufactured in north america, buy them from north america, as there is no duty/gst on item because of the agreement we have.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
