No idea how the ATO is going to enforce it for smaller suppliers, like most OS parts vendors.

Quoted from swinks:sounds like it is up to the overseas retailers to register or not, and if not the packages are on purpose held up in customs / border entry.
Yeh, that’s what I was thinking - the package will maybe have to have a declaration visible on the outside showing the tax has been paid. Otherwise it gets help up and you have to do your own entry. That would be he logical way to do it.
But I doubt it’s going to be that sophisticated. The big companies will have to tow the line and remit directly to the ato. The rest will be subject to random checks by AusPost.
Not sure what the big international couriers are going to do. Will they collect on all packages?
Whole thing sounds like a typical half-assed attempt to keep local retailers/importers happy, while at the same time not doing anything about it.
