Not really a technical but... I have a friend in Australia who needs some of my old stock of semiconductors. If I just mail them what sort of duty would he be subject to? They are not in commercial quantities but just one or two pieces of different transistors and stuff like that which are hard to find at present. |

I have mailed hobby tools and materials < $100 to Australia by USPS. Fill in the customs forms, I suggest "Hobby electronic components" And state a value that can be verified eg by prices online. |

Under $1000 usually goes through without any hassle. Couriers love their declared value vs commercial value vs liability value vs other similarly named value shenanigans, its rather confusing. For a random selection of semiconductors just put: "electronic parts" qty n, value n*$5 |
| andy3055:
Great, thanks. Just the way I imagined. |
| Colt45:
Huh, I figured everywhere in the commonwealth taxed the piss out of you if the declared value exceeded like $20. Guess it's just Canada. |
