Eric’s Tip: “Please keep in mind that US electronics run on 110 volts and have a US outlet, so don’t forget to get an adapter when you get home. Also good to remember is the customs allowance of max A$900 for adults and A$450 for younger than 18 years of age when bringing goods with you from outside Australia. When shopping for electronics, remember the prices on display don’t include the New York taxes (8.875%) and this will be charged at the checkout.”
