Heads up on exchange rates

[Zuffen]

For all Australian nad New Zealand members the exchange rate between our poor Dollars and the US dollar is outstanding right now.

The Aussie Dollars buys US78.5cents.

If your looking at purchasing goodies from the States act now.

I just purchased a Snow Performance Stage 2 water/meth injection kit and saved enough, over purchasing in early November, to freight the goods home for free!

To the guys in the States hold off buying Aussie stuff for a couple of months and you will save as well.

The Dollar won't stay here for too long.

I guess the Autronic SM4 will have to be on hold for now.

I've just checked for the exchange rate. The current 1 Aussie = .787 US. Here's the link to all the exchange rate calculations for many countries. http://www.xe.com/ucc/

Yes, we're nearly at 2USD to the 1GBP, not been like that for years, and probably 2 decades since it held at that level!

Downside is it makes the insular US even less likely to import and can have a negative on your local small manufacturers who export to the US.

There's a downside to every upside, the smart moneymakers just keep swapping sides so the try and stay on that moments winners.

Keep your individual purchases under Au $1,000 to avoid import duty.

No way?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Because of the Free Trade Agreement between the States/Australia there isn't any import duty payable but they can/do ask for 10% Goods and Services Tax.

Have the items sent as a "commercial sample" and most goods will avoid the GST as well.

Ah my slip GST not duty.
