Thu, 02 December 2004 08:50 Well when I have had electronic things like games and consoles come from overseas, it has always had either gift or used on it. The thing that customs want to stop is competition from overseas. Buying that camera in Australia will mean that the money stays here, whereas if you buy it over the net(overseas) or you're overseas and get it, the money is going into foreign hands...and this is basically what customs tries to stop too, as well as foreign animals/bugs etc. Its the advice I was given when I bought a PS2 in Japan, I was told to break the seal so that if my bags were checked going through customs in Sydney airport, I could claim that it was used and that an Australian business had not lost a sale. So I think all that made sense...so basically if possible get them to write either used on the package or gift. Just as long as it doesn't look like a sale was 'stolen' from an Australian business.
