    I find this really bizarre as I import regularly from Rio Grande,
    sterling silver items including findings, neck wires etc. and have
    been doing for about 3 years now......so I don't understand what the
    (i.e. your postal clerk's) problem is....! I do always take care to
    import less than AUD$1000 so that I can do a "Informal Importation"
    and not have to fill out five pages of forms which might necessitate
    employing a customs agent, but otherwise I have had no problems......
    Why should it be any different for you I wonder? Perhaps you have
    just struck a very officious clerk....?!? Perhaps its the method of
    shipping you want to use......? Not sure.....I can't see how it can
    be prohibited when there is an import tariff code for it.....?
    (Incidentally it does attract a 5% import duty......) Do you perhaps
    have a phone number that you could ring for your postal service where
    you may get someone who is perhaps better informed or more helpful?
