I just came back last night with two 42" Panasonic Plasma's. The customs officer said that Duty (5%) must be paid on any flat panel display over 15", regardless of where it is made. I didnt understand that to be the case, but I was not going to argue on the spot. I just paid the 5% duty and 6% GST on the amount above my length of stay exemptions.
