There is a new Free Trade arrangement between Australia and the US.
If the packages you order are less than $1000 Aus in value then no duty should
be payable.
Order what you need and have it separately invoiced. i.e. an invoice for the
glass and one for the hybrid.
if you are having difficulty let me know, I may be able to help with that.

Subject: Ordering fibreglass and resins
Well I am discovering the joy's of getting stuff here in Oz.
It is almost impossible to get carbon fibre or the twill here in Oz. I am
pretty good friends with the guys at SP systems here otherwise I wouldn't be
able to get anything. Even so, the twill will still cost $55sq/m at wholesale
rates. I am struggling to find S glass anywhere and I haven't found E glass
tape anywhere. Plus the distributor for West systems don't stock the coloidial
silica 406 at all, nor 407 filler - instead you use 411 if you need a filler or
410 if you need to do fairing. Are you guys using the 407 for fairing or for
filling??
Apart from that everything is going smoothly, my wood hasn't turned up, can't
find #5 ¾" screws anywhere and ss T-nuts so far are in 1,000 lot quantities.
The good news is the 14' guys have molds for foils here, I will send photo's
when I see them.
Cheers
