Hi All,

I'm looking to upgrade my current pair of binoculars, and noticed that many e.g. US sites have much cheaper prices than current in Australia. However, I was wondering if someone had used this in the past with/without success?

Moreover, would import duty be a straight 10% of purchase price? And what would warranty claims involve, could they be carried out here or would the bins need to go back to the states...

Any advice people have would be gratefully received,
Paul
