I've just ordered some hats from the US & wasn't charged anything but wondering if I'll be hit various Oz taxes/duties if ordering loads of fabric for my curtains.

You can import up to $1000 without getting hit for GST &/or import duties.

exchange fee is what your bank/credit card provider charge, not the government.
Other things to consider: You should have the fabric delivered on the roll, which will not be cheap on postage. Associated costs from the risk the fabric supplied is faulty. There is also a big difference seeing fabric on line and then in reality.

THank you 4walls - as usual
[quote="Southies] How likely do you think this possibility is 4walls, ordering from an American online fabric store?

could not possibly answer that - can vary from company to company, and some types of fabric can be more prone to faults than others. Some faults require a keen eye to spot them. Some faults are not faults at all, but characteristics of the fabric

Thank you 4 walls

Much appreciated, thanks!

I've ordered fabrics online for craft projects; small quantity and thus relatively low risk. While that has worked out well, I think if I was ordering a large enough quantity for it to be on the roll, I'd see if I could find a local fabric store that would import for me. It may cost a bit more but I think that if anything goes wrong, it is worth it.
Thanks Southies, some great ones there!
