Are there issues in sending keris from Australia in big numbers

Export out of Australia of goods valued over $2000 AUD requires export permit from customs. A shipping broker can sort that I think I paid $45.00. This caught me out as I was shipping a single item I sold for $2600 and insured it for that value - post office said i needed a export clearance number to put on the deceleration. I have done the paperwork myself but better to engage a broker. It is far quicker.

Far easier to reduce total value by packing in smaller batches, or where the option exists, to consider other ways around the roadblock.

In my experience Australian customs brokers are all descendants of Ned Kelly.

The rule for sending anything at all internationally by post is to be legally honest in one's descriptions but at the same time to be just a whisker culturally obscure.
