I imported my cossie to oz and couldnt avoid tax, although it was only taxed on what I declared. I regularly send stuff to the UK from here, a couple of times a month at least. Never been stung on those which include an iPod and camera accessories.

May be able to help you but the key to avoiding is the declared value which means if it is lost in transit, it may not be insured for the full amount. Shoot me a PM if you need any help mate
