AF are not registered to collect GST, and customs will only charge you GST and duty on shipments above $1000.

It worked out at $1730aud all up.

Not if customs get all 4 arrive at the same time.

They group it up an charge you. Had it happen several times.

Yep, if they arrive on the same flight they will consolidate them into one.
Order at least 1 day apart and you should be be ok.
Get ready for DHL to rip you a new one of its over 1k, I do my own customs entries but some fees you can't avoid.

Interesting. Good to know. Island 4x4 shipped them all on the same day but they actually arrived in pairs 2 days apart.

Just a follow up on this, the customs duty and GST came to $400. So all up cost for 4 corners is $1900 + $400 tax = $2300. Ordered on 25Jan due here 03Feb.
