I had the commercial purposes issue, just sent them the invoice and explained I work in software development not guitar sales...

But the guitar is over $1000 - do I need an import license or does that not apply for private use?

Customs website is useless.

Interesting thread. Can I ask what you're getting?

Molly, this could open up a whole range of new purchasing opportunities for you! The world is your oyster!

I know.... And after those Chicago pics I'm thinking it's time to cash in the shares (except I don't actually have any shares...).

I've also had mixed experiences. I was worried the shipping will cost me more than the guitar I bought. I learned that I have to use a custom broker to help me handle the clearance. Good thing it all went well this time. Learn more here: ACC custom clearance agent Perth

I imagine they're a bit whiffy by now. Thread's 5 years old...

Steer clear of brokers. A heap of extra cash for nothing. I used one once a while ago when I was just too keen to get hold of it in a hurry with an Easter break looming. I thought it could speed the process along and I could be pkaying on it for the long weekend.

Ahhh nahh. Still took a week after Easter had finished and left.

Yeah it did. This was 7 or 8 years back now. It was an Ishibashi score.
