No you will not be charged VAT.

thanks kevin

Forgot to mention, you might be charged VAT in Australia on the declared Value. In SA the VAT is 14%.

VAT is only charged on orders sent to European Union countries, not the rest of the world.
Like Kevin says, you may be charged some type of VAT/import duty when it reaches Aus.

oh goody,thanks sam i can hardly wait.our gst(goods and services) tax is 10%,i guess im yet to learn about any import duties.EDIT UPDATE,just had a quick google and non restricted(tobacco/alcohol/drugs/animals) goods under the value of $1000 are duty and tax free.

Don't you already have that in the form of Sales Tax?

[dave500]

in aus i think we dropped sales tax in place of the gst(goods and sevices tax)so then prices went down(or stayed the same)then 10% was stuck on top,were used to it now(dosent mean we like it)some prices include gst some dont,depending on the item,in the 80s we had a fbt(fringe benefit tax)for example if you got a company car and phone account you paid tax on it.i was going to fart but couldnt afford the (fkcu all related tax)

[rhos1355]

I thought farting went under the "Pleasure and Entertainment Tax"??
And that the rate was proportional to the loudness/smell factor??

Just a question.
