Tire Rack Not Shipping to AUS :(

[matthugie]

I was thinking that, my thoughts are to ship them in a pair, one package to him and one to his parents or something. I am just trying to help, I know how hard they have it and I do not know why people still live there.

I have shipped fully dressed engines, tons of other big items and even out of state. Tires are easy to ship.

So if he wants to I will do what I can to help. I know I fuck with people on here, but I truly take my time to help others. Just fun to cause a bit of havoc from time to time :)

Splitting packages is probably a good idea. And I know you take your time to help others, that's why I brought it up, to try to keep the man from fucking with you so you can carry on.

Table 4.1.3 sets out Australia’s weighted average applied tariffs for Japan’s major export items to
Australia at the six-digit HS level. Average tariffs are based on the current (2005) tariff schedule, while
export values are from 2004. The average tariff on medium sized PMVs with petrol engines, Australia’s
largest single import from Japan, is 7.9 per cent (table 4.1.3). Average tariffs on other categories of PMVs
reflect different proportions of off-road vehicles, which attract a lower tariff than on-road vehicles (see next
section for more details). Australia’s other major imports from Japan, including goods vehicles, digital and
video cameras and self-propelled machinery have relatively low average tariffs of 5 per cent or less. No
tariffs apply to computer peripherals, parts and accessories and colour monitors. Automobile components
such as gearboxes, car and truck tyres and other parts attract higher tariffs averaging between 8.4 and
10 per cent while tyres for construction machinery stand at 5 per cent. Tariffs on steel products such as
line pipe used for gas and oil pipelines and zinc-coated steel sheeting are 5 per cent. Television sets,
including liquid crystal televisions, also attract a 5 per cent tariff. There is no tariff on photocopier parts or
on cellular mobile phones.

So guess so according to this in 2005 it was 10% tariff.

Same way dealers are banned from exporting brand new cars overseas. You cannot go to a dealership, buy a brand new BMW and ship it overseas. Dealer will get fined $10,000.

They cannot track shipment of tires so having a US person buy them and ship them to you will not be a problem

Sounds more like price gouging, that's far more than a 10% tariff.

But gov't would never screw over their citizens for the interest of business now would they?

We're both correct. The chicken war led to the chicken tax LOL.
