Seconded! Ebay or Amazon really has almost everything.

Australian Ebay don't allow sex toys.

What are the importation rules? If they aren't too strict, all you might need is a friend in the States...

Import rules are easy, it's the damn postage cost. Never anything good made and sold locally in mass.

What I meant was certain countries will not allow certain things to enter the country. An example of this is the Arab Emirates, I don't think they allow foreign pornography to enter the country. Does your particular territory in Australia not allow any contraband? What is considered contraband in Australia?

Well you asked:

The Australian Government controls the import of certain goods into Australia.

The controls include:

* an absolute prohibition, where you are not allowed to import the goods in any circumstances, or
* a restriction, where you need to have written permission in order to import the goods.

Perfect! This is what I was asking for. You might run into an issue under the Pornography and other Objectionable material clause but as long as it's a "medical device" you shouldn't have too many issues. There might be an issue under the toys category also.

Seeing as how you are employed in the medical profession, do you know anyone who is willing to apply for an exemption to the restriction?

I actually have a $10,000 importers general license which (includes sex toys/electronic etc/), I can import up to 10K of merchandise a year, I got it so I would not be hit by taxes on buying stuff from china but we now have some sort of free trade deal with china now so my license/permit sits gathering dust.

As I said it's not the importing it's the postage cost.

Learn something new everyday. Stinks the postage costs so much for you.

I never thought about ebay.

Had anyone used one before?

Well, at least you know you can get one shipped to you if you really really want one.

Thanks, I've seen them in porn and the website but wanted a real persons thoughts.
