I haven't bought anything before from the US . So my general query is do we need to pay any additional(Customs) fee if we are ordering from the US via say Amazon or Aliexpress ?
If the product says $100 AUD including delivery does that mean I only pay that amount ?
Thanks mate.
No worries. I have brought many times from Amazon.
BTW - Aliexpress is from China
Note the shipping times. The number one complaint (which I feel is completely unjustified) with aliexpress is they take a long time to post.
Note also Amazon has a "marketplace" now similar to aliexpress, and some of their sellers are shipping from China too.
So no need to pay for customs even if coming from China if order is below 1000 AUD ?
Doesn't matter where the shipment originated.
No customs under $1000.
Some sellers will ship from a US/UK warehouse but it's only for people in those countries usually ;)

Don't forget about using a card with no international fees.
Cards with No Overseas Transaction Fees
As a general rule better to pay in local currency eg US$, and pay using no international fee card.
This usually results in a better exchange rate, as well as no international fee.
Yes, you would pay just the purchase price. Custom Duty is payable if price plus shipping is $1000 AUD or more.
