Hidden costs

The RAW made full disclosure of the costs involved so there are really no hidden costs BUT there are additional costs.

The costs so far mentioned are -

• Purchase price $15,000 (USD)
• Transport from South Carolina to California $580 (USD)
• Transport to Australia from USA $1,000 (AUD)
• RAW compliance $2,500 (AUD)

Additional costs -

• Goods and Services Tax on arrival in Australia $1,700 (AUD)
• Customs and AQIS fees $410 (AUD)
• Transport from the port to the RAW $160 (AUD)

No surprise fees biting me on the bum so far.  Still several thousand dollars in front.
