Z1motorsports to Australia

shadow85

Any Australians here that have bought stuff from Z1motorsports recently?

I tried to check out and noticed they now have an 'AU sales Tax' cost added to any order.

Can anyone explain what this is?
I have bought many things from Z1 over the past few years and never had to pay this additional cost up until now. So I am curious as to why it is there now?

Does it cover any import fees, duty, tax or anything else on our side? Because if it does, then why does Z1 state they are not responsible for any of those charges if we are charged that when shipments arrive to our customs department. In the past I was never stung or queried by our local customs or goverment departments about any of the items I imported from America and I have made many many purchases from the US in the past few years.

I have asked Z1 about this, but sometimes they take weeks to reply to me, so I am asking if anyone knows about this here as I am very eager to buy a few parts from Z1.

Btw, many other US based sellers does not add that kind of cost in, so why does Z1?
