Thanks for your help guys. The amount that he has to pay works out to be about 30% of the value I put on the customs document. I thought I was doing a good deed, he doesnt have the spare cash to collect it. Shame those at Aust Post dont let you know this when you post the goods. Is this tax applicable to everything? If I send kids clothes / toys is it going to cost the family to collect them. Very annoyed at this point.
