the customs web site has a huge database, which you can use to look up
the magic numbers for a particular item, and that will tell you what
the excise rate is.  but if ...

400  -> 100
500  -> 100
1000 -> 200

i was counting on paying roughly 20% in excise & GST, which looks
roughly ok.

at A$120 for the Yahoo cards, or A$160 for several different models at
buy.com, plus approx A$10 for shipping per card, they still end up at
roughly A$160 or A$210 each, which is better than most deals available
locally.

or you get done if they inspect it cause it looks interesting on the
xray, and you get a fine as well as the normal charges :-(
