OK, Ive just imported a new Rocket Giotto Evoluzione from Italy, 230v/50hZ model.
There is another thread on this but I cant figure out how to reply to it(maybe its closed...)
Anyway, I realise there are some strong opinions around this but I also felt that some members would be interested in the actual costs in importing a machine and some of the costs indicated in the other thread were well off the mark.
The risks and pitfalls are well covered in the other thread, importings not for everyone but it is for me.
The actual costs were
Evoluzione $1688.19
Freight and insurance $271.98
Import Duty $84.40
GST $204.46
Govt charges $55.00
Admin charge $16.50
TOTAL ALL UP COST $2320.53
There were no other costs.
The machine arrived 4 days after I ordered it, in perfect condition.(courier was DHL express)
