Make sure you research before you purchase!!
Its not just a straight import - roofing thatching needs special treatment and possibly a permit,I think also the thickness of the poles comes into it as well (dont quote me but i think timber more than 25cm thick needs inspection/xray???).
I think i remember being told they pack down to 3 cbm.
I am sure by the end of the day you'll have all the advice you didnt ask for haha haa.
