-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys
This could be just 'hoping for a desired outcome', but I reckon that there is no duty payable on phones imported into Australia. When I emailed Australian Customs (trying to get them to have sympathy on the bulk order thing), they only mentioned GST. See below. Also, regarding postage, I think it would be slightly more accurate to use UPS postage calculator (instead of Australia Post) as the phones are shipped from USA. Although, when I did so I got much the same answers.

In response, the phones would attract GST at the time of importation as the phones are considered to be one consignment. As this consignment has a value of greater than AU $1,000 GST would be applicable.
