A friend of mine ex USA got a McMurdo Fastfind with GPS when in USA and registered it in USA with his local address. When he was in USA again he got another and at the then exchange rate. cost $A363 posted to hotel in USA. You can register same on the USA web site and you get back an email with "We realize you live outside United States...........but we accept your registration....." within 24 hours
Sticker comes in post 2 weeks later and remember USA have yachts in the for corners of the world and a few Aussies means nothing to them. I gather in 22 months they send email/SMS/letter asking you to re register. So US taxpayer is covering costs for aussies probably,$2 for posting a letter.
