GST and Overseas Purchases.

With Amazon denying Australian access to their American site I wondered if other suppliers in America would follow suit.

I emailed Elmont Bingham to enquire if they would continue shipping goods to Australia.

I doubt that the government will try to collect gst at the point of entry but who knows, anything could happen.
