Ken,
I am retired so don't need sophisticated computer programs anymore (I
remember paying $7000 for a sign program once).
I could finance trips to the USA if I could locate and purchase old
collectable British sports cars for the right price and on sell them.

And of course there's the flourishing North-->South trade in prescription
drugs for the same reason.

My brother gets most of his scripts filled in Canada.
I understand that most legal and illegal drugs are cheaper in Canada.
Which reminds me,
What is the difference between illegal and unlawful?
Unlawful is against the law, while ill-eagle is a sick bird.
That is for Mike in NS. I knew he would appreciate it.

Trevor,
From what you have reported if I offer my spare coach up for sale @ around $16000 the buyer will be getting the coach for free with the door already moved to the left side.

Trevor,
What about Customs Duty and GST?
To help allay Bob and Ken's fears you need to publish that too! ;-)

Well, I'll admit, I knew vehicle freight was high because I shipped '60
Opel SW from Oakland to Honolulu in '65. Cost me $135!!!

Trevor,
Interesting, there doesn't seem to be any Customs Duty charges on that invoice. The GST (10%) figure of $2,507.40 means that the
landed value (cost of the GMC plus shipping costs) of the GMC was computed to be $25,070 AUD or 22,425 USD.
Looks like the $30,000 I paid for The Blue Streak converted to RHD and registered was a bargain! Too bad I was dumb and tore it
apart!
Do you mind if I point people at your invoice when I'm contacted about the costs to import a GMC?
Regards,
Rob M.

Trevor,
Thanks!
I'm going to have to re-read the Australian Customs and AQIS documentation for vehicle importation, I haven't read them in years and
requirements / costs probably have changed.
Regards,
Rob M.

From: Trevor Pordage
sure Rob Point away
i believe that duty is not applicable due to the age of the coach
gst is calculated on shipping costs plus purchase price
