I am new here having made my first doll purchase recently and wanted to check with my fellow Australians if the import process is always this annoying?
I purchased a WM doll off one of the well known reputable vendors on this forum and everything was going smoothly in transit until she arrived in Australia. Then I received an email from TNT delivery to say that Australian Customs are holding my order as they believe the sender undervalued the product. After opening the consignment note attached I was a little disappointed to see that they had in fact undervalued it big time, like more than 70% less than what I had paid for it! I don't know if they do this to dodge import tax or what but really wish they had just put in the full amount and I would have happily paid the import tax myself and she would have arrived home 3 days ago.
Anyway fast forward to now, I have had to send the poor office girl working at TNT photographic evidence of all items purchased, an itemised invoice with all the graphic details (you guys know what I mean

Just wanted to see if any fellow Aussies have had a similar experience and can share their insights as to how they satisfied Australian Customs in regards to proving their purchase price for import duty calculation?
