    Australia Post’s decision is effective immediately, from August 26, and is until “further notice”.

    The duty cannot be collected in Australia. Under US law, the payment must be made in US ports.

      At least for the export companies I’ve dealt with, it’s collected by the company from the receiver ahead of time and paid at the port.
