What do you guys get stung on imported parts over there ??

Im a Kiwi so we "only" get whacked with 12.5 % GST on goods valued at over 500 squids.

I have been stung with 15% duty (import) on some stuff, 5% on others and none if the items are less than around US$150 (in my experience). Plus GST on top of the duty...gotta love taxes. :mad:

A necessary evil.
